Paulistano Outdoor Chair

When a design stands the test of time for over 50 years, you know it’s going to forever be a classic. The original indoor Paulistano chair was designed by Brazilian Paulo Mendes da Rocha in 1957 – it’s simple: just a single piece of bent steel covered in leather. Now, there’s finally an outdoor version!

The Paulistano Outdoor version has a frame made of bent carbon steel and painted in a durable black or, for the first time ever, white paint. The special slipcover is woven in Paris with  waterproof, rot-proof, and stain-proof treatment that will make it last in any outdoor setting. The proportions are fantastic and it looks perfect for relaxing in the sun.
