Chair One
Chair One
$2,475
Chair One is a pared back solid wood chair with an extreme visual levity. “We started from a stress diagram, a little like Jean Prouvé and the design of his furniture. An idea of designing at the limit where comfort appears as a surprise,” explains Manuel. The chair reflects Manuel's approach to architecture: honest materiality, bold yet timeless, innovative yet connected to the past, and an interplay of volume and void.
Dimensions:40cm W × 49cm D × 85 cm H

About the Designer: Manuel Aires Mateus
Manuel Aires Mateus is an award-winning Lisbon-based architect whose projects explore the roles of memory and knowledge combined with the relationship between the physical and cultural worlds. His work seeks to reflect every scale of our lives and searches for the enduring state of shape and materiality.
With an emphasis on function and the sensory response, his collection for De La Espada reflects a universal heritage that is fixed without time or place. Utilising astonishingly proportioned planks of Douglas Fir timber, the furniture is designed to be passed from generation to generation, earning the value of time and marks of memories past.
