今天要介绍的是巴西设计师Paulo Mendes da Rocha设计的Paulistano Armchair。Paulo Mendes da Rocha曾在2006年获得了普利策建筑奖，随后，他的设计才慢慢获得国际上的关注。这把椅子也才第一次引进了美国。这把椅子由一根17英寸的钢条作为结构。这样惊人简易的结构躲在舒适的皮革里。使得这把椅子不仅舒适，而且还有一点弹性，使得皮革可以根据用户的坐姿调整到最舒适的位置。
The work of Brazilian designer Paulo Mendes da Rocha reached international recognition when he was awarded the 2006 Pritzker Architecture Prize. That same year, we introduced his Paulistano Armchair – a classic that had never before been available in the United States. This chair was originally designed for the Paulistano Athletic Club in São Paulo, Brazil. The frame, a continuous 17-foot-long piece of solid steel, is welded in a single spot. This deceptively simple structure is then wrapped in almost an entire hide of leather that will gain depth and luster as it ages. Exceptionally comfortable, the Paulistano flexes slightly, and the sling can be adjusted up or down the frame for upright or relaxed sitting positions. The stainless steel frame is hand-machine polished and may exhibit markings consistent with hand craftsmanship.
