Serfa Plus: A Contemporary Armchair and Footstool Set

A Unique Blend of Brazilian Design and Comfort

Inspired by the work of Sergio Rodrigues and Ricardo Fasanello, the Serfa Plus armchair and footstool set combines modern Brazilian design with ergonomic comfort and elegance.

The Serfa Plus armchair and footstool set, designed by Zanini de Zanine, pays homage to the iconic works of Sergio Rodrigues and Ricardo Fasanello, two renowned figures in Brazilian design. This contemporary set showcases a unique and irreverent aesthetic that seamlessly blends ergonomics, comfort, and elegance.

The Serfa Plus set stands out with its distinctive features and materials. Crafted using tauari wood and modern joinery techniques, the pieces are interlocked and joined together with the help of metal elements. The seat and headrest are upholstered with patent leather, providing a luxurious touch. The headrest also offers height adjustment, ensuring optimal comfort for the user.

With its sleek and modern lines, the Serfa Plus armchair and footstool set invites users to experience the ultimate comfort of ergonomics. Whether placed in a formal or informal setting, at home or in the office, this set exudes refinement and coziness, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

The Serfa Plus project began in September 2016 in Rio de Janeiro and was completed in April 2017 in Gramado. It was exhibited at the Casapronta Furniture Store in May 2017, showcasing its unique design and craftsmanship.

Zanini de Zanine, the designer behind the Serfa Plus set, conducted extensive research on the construction and design methods employed by Sergio Rodrigues and Ricardo Fasanello. The aim was to stay true to the techniques used by these masters of Brazilian design, resulting in a faithful representation of their work.

During the manufacturing and assembly process, one of the main challenges was determining the correct angle for the slope of the headrest. Any miscalculation could compromise the ergonomics of the product. However, with careful attention to detail, the team overcame this challenge and successfully created a comfortable and visually striking armchair and footstool set.

The Serfa Plus armchair and footstool set has received recognition for its outstanding design. In 2018, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious award celebrates designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life.

Experience the fusion of Brazilian culture, modern design, and comfort with the Serfa Plus armchair and footstool set. Whether you're looking to enhance your living space or create a stylish office environment, this set is sure to impress with its unique aesthetic and ergonomic features.
