Kilin Lounge Chair by Sergio Rodrigues, Brazil, 1970s

A Masterpiece of Brazilian Modernism

Designed by Sergio Rodrigues in 1973, the Kilin chair has become one of the most celebrated icons of Brazilian design. Combining a solid timber structure with a suspended leather sling seat, the chair perfectly expresses Rodrigues' philosophy of comfort, craftsmanship, and relaxed living. Today the Kilin remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after works by the designer.

Innovative Construction

The chair features a cleverly engineered hardwood frame assembled through exposed wooden dowels and locking pins. A single piece of leather forms both the seat and backrest, creating a suspended seating surface that naturally adapts to the body while showcasing the beauty of the materials.

An Enduring Collector's Piece

With its sculptural form and exceptional comfort, the Kilin has become a benchmark of Mid-Century Modern furniture and Brazilian modernist design. Equally suited to contemporary and vintage interiors, it remains a highly desirable collector's piece admired by architects, designers, and enthusiasts worldwide.
