The Alta Lounge Chair & Ottoman by Oscar Niemeyer and his daughter Anna Maria Niemeyer are the first pieces of furniture they designed in 1971. The pudgy seat is counterbalanced by the elegant metal curve that flows from the base to the backrest, lending the piece a striking, sculptural quality.
Alongside his public buildings, Oscar Niemeyer designed countless pieces of furniture, driven by the need to fix “the problem with furniture arrangements”. The great master thought that beautiful modernist and contemporary architecture was often diminished by the presence of inadequate pieces of furniture… Together with his daughter, Anna Maria, he created many iconic designs including the Rio rocking chair, the Marquesa bench and the Alta armchair. Over time, he launched ON, a line of furniture comprising a desk, a sofa and an armchair. Free from the strict rules of functionalism, he injected sensuality and “Brasilidade” into his work finding beauty through asymmetry and curves.
