Niemeyer II Armchair

Niemeyer II

Designed by Joana Santos Barbosa, the rounded forms of the Niemeyer II armchair are influenced by the modernist House of Canoas of Oscar Niemeyer. Having a refined design with architectural details, this armchair is minimal and yet a statement piece. The upholstery work is meticulous, with seams reduced to essential, in order to reproduce the backward movement of flat roof when seen from an aerial view. Upholstered in a special woven bouclé, this welcoming armchair receives people with a gentle embrace and feels the most comfortable place in the room.

Niemeyer II Armchair by Joana Santos Barbosa was recognized as an innovative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Niemeyer II Armchair received the Golden A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2022. The A' Furniture Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design recognition program that celebrates outstanding design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
