Key Works and Projects

Mole (Sheriff) armchair (1957), perhaps his most famous design, with a chunky wooden frame, leather straps and oversized leather cushions that sag and envelop the sitter, becoming a manifesto for relaxed Brazilian modern living.

Tonico armchair, with its rounded wooden structure and generously upholstered roll back, reinforcing the theme of softness supported by visible, honest structure.

Kilin and Diz chairs, which use sling-like leather or shaped wood elements to create light but expressive silhouettes, balancing structural clarity with a sense of movement.
