$25,520 · Pair of 1960s “Saci” Armchairs by Jean Gillon for WoodArt in Solid Jacaranda

Offered here is a rare matched pair of “Saci” armchairs by Jean Gillon for WoodArt—an iconic expression of 1960s Brazilian modernism and a sculptural triumph in solid Jacaranda (Brazilian rosewood). Each chair features Gillon’s signature construction: a bold, angular frame crafted from richly figured hardwood, paired with a hand-laced leather strap suspension system. The original wood surfaces remain in exceptional condition, with deep tone and movement that only Jacaranda can offer. The cushions have been professionally reupholstered in ultra-premium full-grain leather, chosen for both softness and durability while preserving the integrity of Gillon’s original vision. Jean Gillon’s work—alongside that of Sergio Rodrigues, Jorge Zalszupin, Martin Eisler, Carlo Hauner, and Percival Lafer—has earned global recognition for its fusion of craftsmanship, exotic materials, and timeless design. This pair exemplifies that legacy, offering an extraordinary combination of comfort, rarity, and visual presence. This listing is for the pair of armchairs. The matching “Saci” sofa is available separately, creating a rare opportunity to acquire a complete, investment-grade lounge suite from one of Brazil’s most celebrated designers. Whether placed as a standalone pair or alongside the sofa, these chairs will anchor any interior with both elegance and significance. 29.5” wide 30” deep 28” high 17.5” seat height Free local delivery available.
