The Maserati Type 61 Birdcage from 1959 was the inspiration for the sophisticated lines of this furniture. The dynamic curves intend to communicate the sheer daring and idealistic modernism of the 60's. It mixes modern style with retro 60’s figures, creating a balance that allows this piece to be futuristic and luxury.
Gerardo Ríos's artistry and craftsmanship is a symbiotic reflection of what he believes in and often finds inspiration on “the daring romance and adventures that we find in people, history and our natural environment”. Ríos’ artistic spirit is inherited from a lineage of artists dating back to his great-great grandfather, the world-renowned painter José MarÍa Velasco. Each piece of furniture, whether it is a chair, a divan, or a chaise lounge, should create a sense of harmony and provoke a sensual response with the person who experiences it. For Gerardo Ríos, It is the need to communicate and the possibility of astonishment that defines the word “Design”.
