Pair of Brutalist chairs made of carved wood in Spain during the 1960s. These pieces stand out for the expressive power of their handcrafted design, characteristic of the Brutalist aesthetic, where sculptural forms take center stage.Their most distinctive feature is the folding backrest, carved with a stylized feline silhouette that evokes the figure of a cat, lending a playful and decorative character without compromising the structural robustness of the piece. In addition, both chairs feature leather accents on the backrest and seat.
Brutalist furniture, developed primarily between the 1950s and 1970s, is characterized by a bold aesthetic that brings materials, structure, and the manufacturing process to the forefront. Conceptually linked to Brutalism, this type of furniture brings the principles of an architectural movement that championed constructive honesty and the absence of artifice into the domestic sphere.
