$18,500 · 1960s Brazilian Rosewood Jangada Chair and Ottoman by Jean Gillon

Jangada lounge chair and ottoman by Jean Gillon is a masterclass in material honesty and relaxed luxury. Dripping with authenticity, the sculptural frame is crafted from old-growth Brazilian jacaranda rosewood, its grain radiant and deeply expressive, revealing the warmth and density only time can produce. The signature woven net suspension remains original and beautifully intact, creating that unmistakable floating comfort that defines the Jangada series. Generously proportioned black leather cushions sit effortlessly within the frame, developing a rich patina that speaks to decades of careful use rather than wear. The entire piece has been freshly cleaned and polished, preserving the original wood finish while allowing the rosewood to glow naturally. Jean Gillon’s work sits at the intersection of Brazilian craftsmanship and international modernism, and this example captures his vision perfectly. It feels architectural yet inviting, grounded yet light, equally at home in a curated collection or as a statement piece anchoring a living space. An increasingly scarce and highly collectible set, offered in excellent condition, complete with its matching ottoman. A timeless expression of Brazilian design history, built to be lived with and admired for generations. 39" wide 45" deep 33" high We’re now pleased to offer free delivery to most locations across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.
