Alta Memorial Armchair

This version of the Alta Armchair features a backrest distinct from the traditional model and was originally placed in front of a work by Brazilian artist Victor Arruda in the foyer of the Simón Bolívar Auditorium. In 2013, a fire at the auditorium destroyed part of the public collection and the space itself, including the four Alta Armchairs. ETEL, an official partner of the Oscar Niemeyer Foundation, undertook the restoration of the armchairs whose wooden structures had been entirely lost. The restoration process followed the original model with absolute fidelity.
