De Beers Armchair
De Beers Armchair is a sophisticated furniture piece designed by Brazilian designer Ronald Scliar Sasson, exemplifying a harmonious blend of 1970s-inspired aesthetics and contemporary craftsmanship. This conceptual armchair, distinguished by its organic droplet-shaped form, showcases a masterful combination of brass and leather materials, reflecting both luxury and artistic expression. The design features two primary volumes that create a visually striking silhouette, with the main seat and accompanying ottoman following a fluid, sculptural form that pays homage to the iconic furniture designs of the 1970s era. Crafted using multi-laminated plates with specialized molding techniques, the chair's structure incorporates polished solid brass fixtures that lend a sophisticated gleam to its overall appearance. The meticulous leather application process ensures a smooth, natural finish that enhances both the visual appeal and tactile experience. With dimensions of 700 x 850 x 730mm for the chair and 660 x 580 x 310mm for the accompanying stool, the piece is thoughtfully proportioned for both residential and corporate environments. The design's versatility allows it to serve as both a functional seating solution and a statement piece in interior spaces. The project, completed in Gramado, RS, Brazil, demonstrates exceptional attention to detail in its execution, particularly in the challenging aspects of leather application and brass finishing. The design received recognition through an Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to materials, aesthetic appeal, and functional design principles. The chair's creation was driven by a thorough research process that included analysis of corporate and domestic architectural applications, resulting in a piece that successfully bridges artistic expression with practical functionality.
