Joaquim Tenreiro was particularly attentive to the dimensions and proportions of his designs to ensure a great comfort. Elegant and comfortable, those armchairs are called “concha” – or “shell” in English- due to the shape of their backs. Upholstered in a deep blue velvet, they present original aesthetics and harmonious volumes.
