hector galvan of mexico based studio omelette has designed 'el compadre' a 2kg beach
chair, that comes in pairs. it is made from recycled, dehydrated wood and epoxy paint.
abstracting the landscape by direct contact, the design extends beyond the small portable
object, incorporating the very ground. sand and wood are an integral half of the furniture.
