The Africa Chair was created by Brazilian designer Rodrigo Almeida in 2009. It doesn’t look like a traditional African chair, but the design of the object reminds us of the African cultural influence in Brazil. It’s made from painted wood and rope: colour is a very important element of Almeida’s work. He likes to use recycled materials for his creations.
