Title: Jean Gillon 'Jangada' Lounge Chair & Ottoman in Jacaranda & Leather, Brazil, c. 1960s
About: Named the "Jangada" chair, after the small rustic fishing boats used by fishermen along the northern coast of Brazil, this chair and ottoman set designed by the iconic Jean Gillon is the epitome of 'functional art'. Highly sought after by collectors and designers alike this Jangada chair and ottoman set feature new genuine leather upholstery, hand stitched and forged by expert craftsmen and feature new medium density foam for maximum comfort. The frames, constructed of solid Brazilian jacaranda, display variegated woodgrains unique only to jacaranda that are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light and perfectly off-set the camel-colored leather. Forged into astonishing shapes complete with fishnet seat supports (in 100% original, vintage condition) it's easy to see the inspiration source for Gillon when designing this truly extraordinary chair. Ideal for studios, museums and the home this remarkable set can blend seamlessly against a multitude of design backdrops from MCM to Minimalism to Brutalism. With exceptionally few of these sets available for sale in North America and fewer still in such astonishing condition this set won't last long. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.

Condition Details: This extraordinary chair and ottoman set has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration and we love the results. The sold Brazilian jacaranda frames are in 100% original, vintage condition and show only minor signs of wear including light surface scratches and nicks but showing no gouges, stains or deep scratches whatsoever and the exceptional variegated woodgrains are absolutely stunning in natural light. The upholstery is freshly re-done in a fabulous camel-colored genuine leather hide all hand-stitched and forged and features new medium-density foam for maximum comfort. The original rope supports are in excellent original condition showing no breaks or fraying and are weight-bearing. This visually-mesmerizing chair and ottoman set is ultra-comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos for details on this set's current condition. We're limited on the amount of photos we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
