An icon of Brazilian mid-century design, the Peg-Lev lounge chair by Michel Arnoult marries a solid wooden frame with a relaxed sling seat and back in natural leather. True to Arnoult’s humanist vision, the Peg-Leve was conceived as ready-to-assemble, flat-pack furniture that customers could take home and build with ease—an approach that helped democratize good design in Brazil. This low, safari-style armchair is all about comfort and structure. The rectilinear arms and square-section legs are balanced by the gentle arc of the suspended leather, creating a poised silhouette that reads light yet sturdy. The demountable construction (with visible pegs/fasteners at the sides) reflects Arnoult’s emphasis on production efficiency without sacrificing craftsmanship or tactile materials. First developed in the late 1960s—often cited as 1968—the Peg-Leve sits squarely within Arnoult’s broader body of work for Brazil’s modern interiors and aligns with his pioneering role in RTA/flat-pack design. Contemporary and period references consistently describe the model as a solid-wood frame with leather seat and back, underscoring its timeless, material-driven appeal.Condition: Good. The wood frames present light surface wear consistent with age; the original light-colored leather shows an attractive, even patina from use—exactly the character collectors prize. Structurally sound and comfortable.
