1960’s Brazilian Brutalist Safari Leather Sling Three Seater
Scaled up from the single-seat campaign chair that defined it, this three-seater carries the same design logic across a longer span: leather stretched taut over an exposed frame, structure left bare rather than upholstered away — the domestic counterpart to the raw, honest materiality that Brutalist architects like Oscar Niemeyer were building into Brazil's skyline at the same moment. Brazilian designers of the era, among them Percival Lafer and Jean Gillon, took the fold-and-sling vocabulary of colonial campaign furniture and rebuilt it in a confidently modernist register, prizing the country's native hides and hardwoods over imported polish. At sofa scale, that discipline becomes even more evident: nothing hides the frame, and nothing needs to.
A rare find in this length — a bench for a room that doesn't need convincing.
