Alta armchair with ottoman by Oscar Niemeyer in burnt orange velvet

Magnificent and rare Alta armchair and ottoman by Oscar Niemeyer for Politzer, a Brazilian design from 1974, upholstered in soft orange-brick brown velvet with a stainless steel frame. In excellent condition, this armchair and ottoman are comfortable and ergonomic, with generous padding.
The Alta armchair perfectly embodies the architectural vision of Oscar Niemeyer, renowned for his bold curves and organic forms. The stainless steel frame, with its elegant, fluid curve, seems to defy gravity, comfortably supporting the padded seat and backrest. The orange-brown velvet upholstery adds a touch of warmth and luxury, beautifully contrasting with the cold metal of the frame. This combination of materials and shapes creates a piece that is both sculptural and functional, a hallmark of Niemeyer's creative genius.
