This distinctive armchair was designed by Ángel I. Pazmiño for the Ecuadorian manufacturer Muebles de Estilo in the 1960s. It is one of the most recognizable examples of South American modernism, where Scandinavian simplicity meets local craftsmanship and pre-Columbian motifs.
The structure is made of solid meranti wood. The seat and backrest are made of thick, natural leather, hand-embossed with geometric patterns inspired by the art of the Incas and pre-Columbian cultures. The distinctive folding mechanism makes the armchair not only visually striking but also practical for everyday use.
The armchair is in good original condition. It shows visible signs of age and use, including scratches and abrasions to the wood and leather. It is missing the armrests and the horizontal bar under the seat, but this does not affect its quality or usability.
Although its form is understated, the armchair offers an exceptionally comfortable position for relaxation. The supple leather naturally adapts to the user over time, while the slightly reclined backrest and wide armrests provide comfort while reading or relaxing. This piece of furniture will look equally at home in a modern interior and a space decorated with a vintage feel, becoming a strong yet understated accent.
Ángel I. Pazmiño was one of the most important furniture designers in Ecuadorian history. He created furniture that combined modernist design with local craftsmanship and motifs inspired by pre-Columbian cultures. His designs gained recognition far beyond South America and are today among the most sought-after examples of 20th-century Latin American design.
Muebles de Estilo was an Ecuadorian manufacturer specializing in the production of high-quality furniture from solid wood and genuine leather. In the 1960s and 1970s, the company collaborated with Ángel Pazmiño, creating collections that fused European influences with South American craftsmanship. This collaboration resulted in some of the most distinctive furniture exported from Ecuador during the Modernist period.
