Benjamin Armchair
The synthesis of the work of Sergio Rodrigues

It was the last creation that Sergio Rodrigues saw come to life. "It synthesizes everything I've done to date: it brings a lot of elements that I've used over the years," Sergio said at the time. Named "Benjamin" by Sergio, in honor of his youngest grandson, the new armchair is the tip of a strand that has the Mocho stool at the other end and more than 1,200 creations along the way. This piece celebrates the sixty years that Sergio dedicated to design with humor, a lot of love for the craft and, above all, the boyish joy that he preserved during his 86 years of life.
