Angel Pazmino lounge chair Muebles de Estilo Ecuador 1960

This expressive lounge chair was designed by Angel Pazmino and produced by Muebles de Estilo in Ecuador, circa 1960. It is a powerful example of Latin American modernism, combining solid craftsmanship with rich cultural symbolism. The chair is crafted from solid wood, featuring a robust architectural frame with beautifully sculpted armrests and distinctive round wooden joint details. The seat and back are executed in thick, hand-tooled leather, decorated with traditional pre-Columbian inspired motifs that give the piece its unmistakable character. The warm tones of the wood and the deep patina of the leather create a striking and harmonious contrast. Both structural and highly decorative, this lounge chair embodies Pazmino’s signature style, blending modernist principles with artisanal techniques and indigenous influences. The chair remains in very good vintage condition, with a beautiful aged patina to the leather consistent with time and use. A rare and collectible design, this piece makes a strong statement in any mid-century, eclectic, or globally inspired interior.
