The Aviador Armchair was one of the first pieces of furniture designed by Fernando, eager to implement sophisticated joinery techniques and exercise his exquisite craftsmanship.
Behind the design
The idea for the structure was to join three pieces in a single joint: seat, backrest, and rear leg, resulting in a three-pointed boomerang shape.
Details
The piece references elements with an aeronautical touch: the shape of the arms, metal rods reminiscent of struts from old biplanes, and rear cross piece end caps shaped like a “spinner,” give reason to its name: “Aviator.”
In 2008, the Aviator armchair won 1st place in the Furniture category at the 22nd “Museu da Casa Brasileira” Design Award.
