maximo riera: walrus chair

bringing the outside in, the assortment of pieces use light and shadow to create a dynamic yet fragile metropolis simply by turning on a bulb.       

the automotive industry was the basis for a collection, in which two chairs manipulate perforated leather in different ways to reinterpret the material's use. 

the hand-turned shades are produced with a roughly finished interior which adds texture and describes the story of stone production.

the throne is a sculptural dedication to the animal kingdom in the form of a piece which boarders between art and furniture object. 

because of its superlative size and presence, the design is considered more like a throne than a chair, the rhino meant to reflect nature's capacity and mightiness.

the piece looks to bring life to the basic function of the chair, making it more present and creating a stronger connection between the spectator, the object and its environment.
