Jordi Vilanova, TER chairs

JORDI VILANOVA (Barcelona, 1925-1998).
Set of four chairs "TER", 60s.
Wooden structure. Ochre-yellow upholstery.
Measurements: 80 x 44 x 40 cm.

Set of four TER chairs, designed by Jordi Vilanova i Bosch in the 1960s. It is a design of marked sophistication that gathers Art Deco influences reinterpreted from a modern language, refined and of great formal precision. The wooden structure, with its refined lines and balanced proportions, is combined with ochre-yellow upholstery that harmoniously dialogues with the warmth of the brown wood, bringing depth and chromatic richness to the whole.

The TER series represents one of Vilanova's most elegant approaches to domestic furniture, where traditional craftsmanship and modernity coexist with absolute naturalness. An increasingly scarce set in the market, especially attractive for collectors and high-end interior design projects that seek to incorporate historic Spanish design with identity and character.

Vilanova is renowned for his mastery of woodworking and his contemporary reinterpretation of Mediterranean tradition. He trained in the Busquets workshop, later collaborating with Lluís Gili. He was awarded the Delta de Plata Prize (ADI/FAD, 1964) for the Delta stool. His work is represented in the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, and among his most renowned designs are the Tiracord and Billar chairs, as well as the Tartera and Petit rocking chairs.
