Pair of "Diz" Lounge Chairs (c. 2002)
Imbuia wood
Dimensions: 72 × 73 × 86 cm
Country of origin: Brazil
Each signed with artist's tag: SERGIO RODRIGUES ARQUITETO / BRASIL
Designed around 2001–2002, the Diz lounge chair is among the most iconic and fluid creations of Sergio Rodrigues’s late career. This pair of sculptural lounge chairs, executed in richly grained solid imbuia wood, reflects his lifelong devotion to organic ergonomics, Brazilian materiality, and artisanal craftsmanship.
With its flowing, anatomical form, the Diz achieves a sense of lightness despite the solidity of its hardwood structure. The curved seat, backrest, and armrests integrate seamlessly into a dynamic, three-dimensional silhouette, offering exceptional comfort while maintaining sculptural integrity from every angle.
Marked by the designer’s signature plaque, these pieces carry not only a refined modernist aesthetic but also the personal authorship of one of Brazil’s greatest design masters.
Sergio Rodrigues (1927–2014) is celebrated for fusing Brazilian spirit with modernist ideals. The Diz chair, created when he was in his seventies, captures the poetic mastery of his mature design language—where architecture, craftsmanship, and sensual form converge.
