I’m trying to identify the maker or designer of this armchair. My grandfather bought it, and it has been in our family home here in Brazil for at least 40 years.
Because of the solid dark wood frame, exposed hex screws, and strap suspension system, my first guess was that it mght be a Percival Lafer piece from the 70s. However, I can't find a Lafer model with separate legs like this. Most of his designs seem to have continuous sled bases or solid side panels.
I should mention that I already know the fabric is not original. It was reupholstered, though the current cushion retains the general "floating" shape of the old one.
Does anyone with knowledge of the Brazilian mid-century modern movement recognize this particular leg structure and joint style? Could it be another prominent factory from that period? Any leads would be amazing.
