Broyhill's Brasilia Collection is so iconic and beautiful! The design team was inspired by the utopian buildings in the capital of Brazil, designed by famed architect Oscar Niemeyer. Broyhill's designers worked for two years with Oscar Niemeyer and presented the copyrighted collection in 1962 with his approval. Notice how gorgeously thin and elegant the sculpted legs are... This is some very cool furniture!
This dining set expands to seat 10 people easily, with three leaves. The leaves were found in their original shipping box, and had NEVER been opened or used by the previous, sole owner of this set. You can add 1, 2 or 3 leaves to accommodate your guests.
The six chairs (5 side chairs and one captain's chair) have just been reupholstered with new foam and Knoll's fabulous Classic Boucle (http://www.knoll.com/knolltextileproductdetail/Classic+Boucle) Their frames are in good vintage condition with some finish wear.
The table top had previously been refinished in polyurethane and we have stripped it and refinished in a more authentic, satin rubbed finish. (It is slightly lighter in color than the three leaves, which were in their box and did not see the sun for 50 years!) It is in excellent condition and ready to be enjoyed by your family for many more decades!
