A striking pair of sculptural lounge chairs identified as designs by Octavio Vidales for Muebles Johrvy, Mexico, dating to the 1950s.
Crafted from solid mahogany with bronze detailing, these exceptional chairs embody the refined craftsmanship and sculptural design language associated with mid-century Mexican modernism. Their boldly curved arms, architectural frames, and carefully integrated bronze accents create a sophisticated balance between organic form and structural presence.
The rich mahogany frames are complemented by soft gray velvet upholstery, allowing the sculptural silhouette and craftsmanship to remain the focal point. Their generous proportions and commanding presence make them equally suited for a luxury residence, design studio, executive office, boutique hospitality setting, or curated interior project.
Based on extensive research, construction methods, materials, and design characteristics consistent with documented examples from the period, these chairs have been identified as designs by Octavio Vidales for Muebles Johrvy. No surviving manufacturer’s label is present.
