These Spanish brutalist three-legged chairs are clearly inscribed in the aesthetic trends developed in the Basque Country during the 1950s, where architecture, sculpture and design shared the same language of formal austerity and constructive rigor. Its structure reduced to the essential, the absence of ornamentation and the prominence of the material refer to a conception of the object as an autonomous and functional form. The pieces emphasize the formal balance characteristic of Basque brutalism, and are presented as a solid and coherent example of design that transcends the utilitarian to dialogue with sculpture and contemporary space.
