La Moderna Chair

Personal Project

La Moderna chair is a tribute to the architects and designers that shaped the design scene in Mexico. This chair follows the philosophy of creators like Ricardo Legorreta and Antonio Attollin. The construction logic follows three levels of sculpting of its elements. The most sculpted shapes are the ones that are in direct contact with the body, while the most geometric ones do not touch it.
