Chair of the Day

Brazilian designer, Paulo Mendes da Rocha’s classic chair, Paulistano has been reissued by French company Objekto. The Brazilian architect won the Pritzker Architecture Prize last year. His classic chair was designed in 1957. Paulistano is made from one piece of bent steel bar and covered with leather or canvas. It’s also the only piece of furniture ever designed by Mendes da Rocha. Originally released as a limited edition and was available only to avid furniture collectors. I’m glad the Objekto is now making this masterpiece available to the rest of us. Bravo! You can buy Paulistano for $1,500 (retail) online at Design Within Reach.
