Jorge

The journey of crafting the Jorge armchair begins deep in the forests of Brazil, where skilled artisans carefully select the finest Guajuvira wood. This selection process is meticulous, ensuring that only the most durable and visually stunning pieces of wood are chosen. The natural variations in color and grain give each piece its own unique character, making every armchair a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Once selected, the wood undergoes a careful drying process. This stage is crucial, as it ensures the wood’s longevity and stability. The freshly cut logs are first air-dried in a well-ventilated area, allowing the moisture content to gradually decrease. After this initial drying phase, the wood is then kiln-dried to achieve optimal hardness and prevent warping or cracking. This process can take several weeks, but the patience and precision ensure that the material is in perfect condition for crafting.

With the wood prepared, skilled craftsmen begin shaping the structure of the armchair. Inspired by the refined aesthetic of Jorge Zalszupin, they work meticulously to carve and assemble the solid Guajuvira frame, paying close attention to the elegant curves and fluid lines that define the design. Each piece is carefully sanded and polished to bring out the natural luster of the wood, creating a satin-smooth finish that enhances its rich tones and intricate grain patterns.

Once the structure and upholstery are completed, the final assembly takes place. Every joint is reinforced, and the finishing touches are applied, ensuring both beauty and durability. The end result is a timeless piece of furniture that embodies craftsmanship, sustainability, and individual expression.

Handcrafted in Brazil, the Jorge armchair is not just a seat, it is a work of art and a celebration of design.
