This folding chair from the 1950s, attributed to Angel I. Pazmino for Muebles De Estilo, stands as an emblem of South American modernism infused with local craftsmanship. The structure unites a matte, nearly black wooden frame with richly reddish-brown, embossed leather on the seat and backrest. Decorative patterns—geometric borders and a central motif referencing Incan symbolism—reinforce the piece's ethnographic pedigree. Angled, splayed legs and armrests lend the chair a dynamic silhouette, while the thoughtfully constructed folding mechanism allows for smooth, flat folding, making it adaptable for varying spaces. The combined use of natural leather and wood, accented by brass fittings, offers both durability and a tactile surface richness. Subtle patina along the leather edges, gentle wear on the wood, and a few small chips reveal its authenticity. The chair is preserved in very good condition—signs of age remain discreet and do not affect its structural integrity. The form and ornamentation of this chair echo the voice of the mid-century Andean region, merging avant-garde simplicity with the dignity of pre-Columbian motifs. Across the seat, the embossed patterns catch the light, telling a narrative of the convergence between utilitarian modernity and time-honored artisan traditions. Each impression and crease in the leather serves as a testament to its journey, marking its ethnographic identity and vintage value. This chair may be paired with a simple solid-wood table, or surrounded by boldly patterned textiles and unpolished fabrics to highlight its South American character. It will suit a living room as a striking element within a curated, collector’s interior, as well as a minimalist loft that benefits from the interplay of
