Carioca Chair

2001
Steel Tubes and Upholstered Cushions
60 x 135 x 85 cm (20 x 19 x 32 in.)

Relax between the two rocks that form the Sugar Loaf hills in Rio de Janeiro and have fun at the Guanabara Bay beaches may sound crazy for a lot of people.
To make this wish come true, a lounge chair makes reference to that natural monument , so the person does not need to be a giant nor has to be crazy to imagine himself or herself seated on two hills.
Its structure is made of tubular and chrome-plated steel (d=1 1/2”) and has the shape of the mountains. The seat and the back refer to the calm waves of Botafogo Bay and are made of navy blue fabric covered foam . It is a piece for residential spaces which can be produced in industrial scale.
