Experience a true icon of Brazilian modernism with this authentic Jangada lounge chair and ottoman, designed by Jean Gillon and produced by WoodArt in the 1960s. Crafted from solid Jacaranda (Brazilian rosewood), this untouched original radiates tropical warmth, sculptural elegance, and exceptional craftsmanship emblematic of Brazil’s golden design era.
The leather cushions exhibit a naturally aged patina that no reproduction can match—showcasing creases, stitching, and texture formed over six decades. Supported by a handcrafted rope sling expertly knotted and tensioned, the chair offers the unique sensation of a suspended hammock, inspired by the traditional Brazilian fishing rafts known as “Jangadas.”
This confirmed authentic piece carries the original WoodArt labels, beautifully aged and visible beneath the frame, making it a museum-quality collector’s treasure. Ideal for serious collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century Brazilian design.
