The Tridente Armchair, designed by Lina Bo Bardi in 1948, is a timeless masterpiece that beautifully captures the essence of modernist design with Brazilian influences. Known for its minimalist yet striking form, the chair’s name “Tridente” (meaning trident) refers to the unique three-legged structure that gives it both stability and visual impact. The chair’s organic lines and geometric precision reflect Bo Bardi’s signature approach to design—where functionality meets artistic expression. Crafted from wood, the Tridente Armchair showcases Bo Bardi’s emphasis on using natural materials, blending the modernist aesthetic with Brazilian craftsmanship. Its design not only prioritizes comfort but also engages with the cultural context, creating a piece that resonates with both elegance and simplicity.
