A whole lotta love

photos Ricardo Bassetti

Designed by Brazilian architect Felipe Hess, this bright and spacious apartment is located in a 1960's modernist building in São Paulo.  Yeah yeah the light-filled space, limited colour palette, clean lines and the like … I'm just diggin' all those classics.  I spy Le Corbusier, Hans Wegner and a whole lotta Jean Prouvé;  I just hope all these chairs are loved, enjoyed and, most importantly, sat on.

The Eames?

According to The Style Pages of The Times Deyan Sudjic, director of the Design Museum, has an enviable collection of iconic chairs;  among them Aalto's K65 low back stools, Hans Wegner's Wishbone Chairs, Le Corbusier's LC4 chaise longue, Harry Bertoia's Diamond Chair, Gerrit Rietveld's Red Blue Chair and a Ron Arad Rover.  So, one might think choosing where to sit could prove to be a tricky conundrum, but not for Sudjic as he "likes to sit ......... in the Eames chair".  

Huh, which Eames?  You never mentioned an Eames!
