Chair

Gago A

GAGO chairs honour the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic realized by Gago Coutinho and Sacadura Cabral in 1922. Inspired by the shape of the aviator’s helmet and with curved arms like the wings of a seaplane, the chairs’ upholstery rest on a platform of turned wooden beams, giving users the impression of taking off on an adventure. On their back is the inscription “1922, 8383 kms”, recording this historic feat of the aeronautics. GAGO chairs travel through spaces of familiar conviviality or metropolitan agitation, making each place memorable.
