Geometric Lounge Chair/Dining Chair

Geometric Lounge Chair/Dining Chair is an innovative furniture design that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of modernist principles with retro aesthetics, drawing inspiration from both industrial-era geometric structures and 1960s design sensibilities. This sophisticated seating solution, crafted entirely from solid red oak wood, demonstrates exceptional engineering through its distinctive three-axis structure that creates an illusion of visual lightness while maintaining robust structural integrity. The design features complex angular joinery executed through mortise and tenon techniques, requiring high-tech machinery for precise manufacturing while ensuring durability for daily use. The chair's ergonomic excellence is achieved through a sophisticated progressive cushioning system that incorporates multiple layers of varying-density foam and elastic supports, complemented by meticulous handcrafted upholstery that enhances its character and personality. The piece, which measures 656 mm in width, 766 mm in depth, and 742 mm in height, showcases a dynamic tilting element that introduces a contemporary aesthetic while maintaining functional comfort. Designed by Gerardo Ríos and recognized with an Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, this chair represents a significant achievement in combining artistic vision with practical functionality. The design's innovative engineering required extensive vector studies to develop an assembly system that maintains structural integrity while achieving its distinctive geometric aesthetic, making it particularly suitable for modern interior environments where both style and comfort are paramount considerations.
