Product Description
Arcalo Gonçalo Lisbon chair is an iconic steel chair that you can find in all the restaurants and cafés of Lisbon
Pois likes: this historic new fashion and trendy Arcalo Gonçalo Lisbon chair, one of the greatest national icons. For the story, back in the late 40’s, Gonçalo dos Santos founded a small weld shop Arcalo in Algés, Lisbon. The leap towards the chairs production came from his tube bending invention. The final model was found and it was then, back in 1953, outside the “Café Lisboa” in the Avenida da Liberdade, that the final cut for the historical and timeless Gonçalo Lisbon chair was made.
Pois testimonial: “We met the charming owner Senhor Manuel Caldas who runs the small Arcalo factory in the beautiful countryside north of Lisbon. This chair exists also as kids chair designed already 20 years ago but never got produced until Pois Selection encouraged its launch on the market. The Arcalo chair set is perfect to celebrate spring and looks fantastic on a terrace. A piece of the original Lisbon chair in your garden!”
