Vintage sofa from the 1970s, clearly inscribed in the language of modern Brazilian design and close to the formal approaches developed by Jorge Zalszupin. The piece articulates a very characteristic combination of clean lines and geometric structure with the organic softness of stretched leather, which forms an enveloping and comfortable seat.

The solid solid wood structure, worked with slight curvatures in the arms and supports, dialogues with the continuous surface of the natural leather, fixed by exposed rivets that underline its honest and structural construction. This synthesis between geometric rigor and material sensuality, so typical of Brazilian design at the time, generates a balance between robustness, elegance and comfort.
