Euvira Lounge

With the Euvira Lounge Chair, Jader Almeida continues the tradition of the great Brazilian design masters of the 1960s and 1970s with superior ease; at the same time, he finds his own individual and contemporary expression of an elegant lounge chair. The concisely shaped forms, finely orchestrated lines and transitions between thickening and tapering materials lend the chair a solid yet elegant appearance. The cord-covered surfaces create a graphic play of lines, providing the chair with both transparency and high seating comfort. The Lounge Chair is a member of the Euvira product family, which also includes a rocking chair. Together, the various versions are reminiscent of the 1960s club culture in living rooms, hotel rooms or lobbies and demonstrate the skills of contemporary craftsmanship. In dark stained oak with black cord, the Euvira Lounge Chair most clearly refers to the origins of its designer. In light oak with hemp-coloured cord cover, it almost looks like a Scandinavian furniture classic. Fabric or leather-covered cushions enhance its expression of comfort. In every version, however, the chair combines tradition and modernism, past and present, stability and elegance.

Jader Almeida

Jader Almeida was born in 1981 in Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. At the age of 16 he already started gaining practical experience working in the local furniture industry. He later studied architecture and urban planning and then took a job with Lin Brasil, which manufactures furniture conceived by well-known Brazilian architects and designers.

Working with typical Brazilian woods and types of leather proved seminal for Almeida’s future designs. He began developing his own exclusive products in 2004, initially for Sollos in Santa Catarina. Almeida has since then received a number of prestigious Brazilian and international design awards. Today he works as both product designer and architect, with his own studio in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina.

Jader Almeida: “It is my aim to create products of enduring value, drawing on the legacy of the great masters while always looking ahead and knowing that today’s decisions will have an impact on tomorrow. Rationality, simple geometry and attention to every detail help to create products with a timeless aesthetic.”
