Paulistano chair – Missoni special edition

Designed in 1957 by Mendes da Rocha, Winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize 2006, the Paulistano chair is a Brazilian version of a Bauhaus classic and joins the ranks of iconic design classics from Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe and other European designers.
The Missoni Special Edition is the result of a fantastic partnership and a shared passion between the famous Italian fashion house and Mendes da Rocha. Designed by Rosita Missoni herself, the special reversible cotton cover borrows the emblematic patterns of Missoni: both colored flowers and striped. One single cover: two styles, two different chairs, one fantastic piece of design.
Frame: polished stainless-steel, plain bar, 19mm diameter. Cover: Missoni fabrics: 100% Cotton. Exclusively available at www.bodieandfou.com, £775
Also available from BODIE and FOU, the Paulistano chair with leather cover in cognac, whisky, white, black or range and frame in stainless-steel or black iron, £775 each + £4.95 UK delivery
