Ipanema Chair

Overview

Construction

Solid wood forms the structure. Moulded flexible polyurethane and hide make up the seat and backrest, under a fixed cover in fabric, leather or hide.

Jean-Marie Massaud, 2015

Poliform credits Ipanema to Jean-Marie Massaud, with the dates 2015 – 2024 on its technical sheet. The opening line of the description calls it an essential designed chair for areas of conviviality.

Wood, upholstery or hide

The same solid wood structure carries either an upholstered seat or a hide cover. In the hide version the cover curves at the height of the backrest, which gives the profile a more dynamic and refined line.
