Flexing its muscles —
To create his Paulistano Armchair, Paulo Mendes da Rocha transformed a single piece of solid steel into a fluid form that supports a full-grain leather sling seat. The final result is a sturdy, exceptionally comfortable chair that flexes slightly with the sitter.

Sink in
Originally designed for the Paulistano Athletic Club in São Paulo, Brazil, the Paulistano Armchair’s frame is a continuous 17-foot-long piece of solid steel that’s welded in a single spot and hand-machine polished. This deceptively simple structure is then wrapped in almost an entire hide of leather that develops a patina over time. Exceptionally comfortable, the Paulistano flexes slightly, and the sling can be adjusted up or down the frame for upright or relaxed sitting. Made in France.

Paulo Mendes da Rocha
Born in Brazil in 1928, Paulo Mendes da Rocha began his career in Sao Paulo as a member of the “Paulist brutalist” avant-garde. He opened his office in 1955 and created an early masterpiece, the Athletic Club of Sao Paulo (1957). Civic landmarks, museums, schools, hotels, and apartment buildings followed, and Mendes da Rocha took his place in the pantheon of Brazilian architects.
