Giuseppe Scapinelli Sculptural Armchair Reupholstered in White Bouclé, c 1960

This gorgeous sculptural armchair by Giuseppe Scapinelli was crafted in Brazil circa 1960 and freshly reupholstered with luxurious bouclé fabric. Quintessential Brazilian Modernism with the refined elegance that Italian-born Scapinelli was known for.

Ideal option for collectors or interior designers working on a high-end luxury project looking for a rare chair that checks all the boxes. The back of the chair has a similar look to the Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner 'Costela' (aka Rib) chair with the slatted skeletal styled back. Incredible comfort, eye-catching silhouette, luxurious materials plus a sought-after rare design - get this chair before it's gone as they don't come around often.

This Giuseppe Scapinelli armchair would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as a side chair, cafe or breakfast table chair, bedside chair, fireside chair, dressing or changing room chair, hallway chair, entryway or mudroom chair, nursing or reading chair, meeting room chair, executive office or desk guest chair, lobby chair, lounge chair or occasional chair ideal in virtually any setting.
