About the Item

Departing from the material vocabulary typically associated with Brazilian modernism, this rocking chair is conceived in metal and acrylic—an exploration of line, transparency, and structural clarity. The composition is defined by a continuous curved metal base, forming a precise arc that enables a controlled, fluid rocking motion while visually grounding the silhouette. The slender metal frame extends upward in a disciplined geometry, integrating armrests and supports into a single linear gesture. In contrast, the seat and backrest are executed in acrylic, introducing a translucent plane that lightens the overall mass and emphasizes the chair’s architectural outline. The interplay between reflective metal and smooth acrylic creates a deliberate tension between solidity and transparency. The rocker’s profile is both minimal and expressive, relying on proportion and curvature rather than ornament. Its materials articulate a contemporary sensibility, privileging structural honesty and visual lightness. In excellent condition, with minor surface wear consistent with age and use. A refined study in modern material contrast—functional, sculptural, and quietly radical in its departure from convention.
