Rosewood and calf leather canapé from the 1960s, Rodeio by Jean Gillon, 1968.

This exceptional large three-seater sofa, produced around 1968, represents a refined and more understated variation of the iconic RODEIO model designed by Jean Gillon and manufactured by Italma WoodArt. The model was likely produced in limited quantities for the West German market, making surviving examples particularly rare. The structure is made of solid and veneered rosewood, fully restored and freshly oiled to enhance the depth and vibrancy of its natural grain. The original calf leather upholstery has also been professionally restored and remains in perfect condition, preserving the luxurious character and authenticity of the era. Its construction combines robust craftsmanship with elegant proportions, reflecting Gillon's signature organic modernism. The generous seat dimensions and high-quality suspension ensure exceptional comfort. Due to its rarity, the quality of materials, and its identifiable model lineage, this piece stands as a highly collectible and investment-quality example of mid-century Brazilian design.
