An icon of Brazilian modernism, the “Diz” lounge chair by Sergio Rodrigues is a masterclass in organic form, structural elegance, and tactile luxury. This example is in incredible original condition, showcasing Rodrigues’ signature sculptural frame in rich, dark-stained hardwood—most likely freijó or a similarly lustrous tropical wood—with dramatic curves and beautifully grained, molded plywood seat and back.
Designed in 2001 and quickly cementing itself as a modern classic, the Diz chair embodies the warmth and sensuality that define Rodrigues’ work—bridging the legacy of mid-century Brazilian design with a contemporary sense of refinement. Every angle of the chair reveals new formal relationships: the way the arms flare outward, the ergonomic cant of the seat, the interplay of negative space between the back and the frame.
Handcrafted in Brazil and marked with the original Sergio Rodrigues studio label, this piece is as collectible as it is comfortable—a rare opportunity to acquire one of the designer’s most expressive and timeless works.
