A pair of chairs linked to the Brutalist aesthetic and traditional Spanish furniture, characterized by a sturdy and deliberately rustic construction. The solid wood retains an irregular finish that emphasizes the traces of handcrafting, while the openwork and cut-out details on the backrest and sides lend a distinct artisanal character. Their distinctive structure evokes old-fashioned birthing chairs, traditionally designed with relatively low seats and functional forms suited to their purpose, reinterpreted here through a decorative sensibility characteristic of the 20th century. The hallmarks of the dark wood, the green upholstery, and the metal elements accentuate their expressiveness, resulting in two pieces with a strong sculptural presence, particularly appealing due to the combination of vernacular tradition, craftsmanship, and Brutalist aesthetics.
