Last century, there were geographical areas of the planet that lived disconnected from each other and Portuguese adventurers created connections that enriched the world. The GAGO chair honours the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic realized by Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho in 1922. Inspired by the shape of the aviator’s helmet and with arms elegantly curved like the wings of a seaplane, the GAGO’s upholstery rests on a platform of turned wood inspired in the hydroplane floaters, giving users the impression of taking off on an adventure. On its back is the inscription “1922, 8383 km”, recording this milestone of the aeronautics that linked Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. GAGO travels through spaces of familiar conviviality or metropolitan agitation, making each place memorable.
