The Rio Chaise Longue chair is an example of Oscar Niemeyer’s fascination with curves. This Brazilian architect is one of the most prolific of his generation. His buildings exceptionally and delicately bring sculpture and architecture together and create something unique.
Niemeyer, a great admirer of curved and abstract shapes, materializes these preferences in the Rio Chaise Longue.

He adopted the name of the chair from Rio, and developed it in collaboration with his daughter Anna Maria Niemeyer.
