Oscar Niemeyer by Etel
The ON Armchair belongs to the furniture line Oscar Niemeyer — the Brazilian modernist architect behind Brasília and the United Nations Headquarters — designed with his daughter Anna Maria Niemeyer during his years of political exile in Paris. Frustrated that 1970s furniture failed to match the architecture of its time, Niemeyer set out to design his own, carrying the same sensual curves into three dimensions of wood and metal.
Created specifically for the Sesc Hotel in Copacabana, a building Niemeyer designed in the 1980s, this armchair sets a straightforward seat and backrest within two alluring curved sheets on either side, giving the piece its sculptural, comfortable-yet-cool character. Shown here in Camurça Vanilla fabric on a natural American walnut structure, though leather can also be requested.

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.
