„It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by humans. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve - the curve that I find in the mountains of my country.“ Like the entire creative work of Oscar Niemeyer the " Rio Chaise“ from 1978 is a tribute to the sensuality of organic forms. This icon of Brazilian modernism is made of plywood and hand-crafted straw mesh.
