Geometric Lounge Chair/Dining Chair

A Modernist Zeal with a Retro Timeless Touch

This collection by Gerardo Ríos draws inspiration from the geometric structures of the late nineteenth century industrial era, combined with the silhouettes and spirit of the 60's. With its modernist zeal and retro timeless touch, this lounge chair/dining chair is ideal for modern interior environments.

The Geometric Lounge Chair/Dining Chair stands out with its simple yet edgy structure, relying solely on three axes, giving it a visual lightness. The tilting on the pieces adds a soft air of modernity and dynamism unique to this collection. But what truly sets this design apart is its impeccable ergonomics. The seat and back have been meticulously designed with the correct inclination, allowing for maximum comfort and relaxation.

Built entirely of solid red oak wood, the Geometric Lounge Chair/Dining Chair showcases exceptional craftsmanship. The joinery is made with mortise and tenon, utilizing complex angles to achieve the perfect fit and durability for everyday use. High-tech machinery was employed in the production process to ensure precision and quality.

The engineering of the seat and backrest is equally impressive. Multiple layers of foam with different densities and elastic supports provide progressive cushioning, delivering a smooth and enjoyable seating experience. The upholstery, completely handmade, adds character and personality to the design.

With dimensions of 656 mm W x 766 mm D x 742 mm H, this lounge chair/dining chair strikes the perfect balance between style and functionality. Its comfortable seat, solid wood construction, and retro 1960's style make it a versatile piece that can complement various interior design themes.

The Geometric Lounge Chair/Dining Chair project took 12 weeks from the initial sketches to the final prototype for mass production. The design and prototyping were carried out in Mérida, Yucatán, México. Extensive research and engineering were conducted to develop an assembly system that would maintain the design's resistance while achieving a light and dynamic look.

Recognized for its excellence, the Geometric Lounge Chair/Dining Chair was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2016. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The chair's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contribute to a better world.

Experience the perfect blend of modernist design and retro charm with the Geometric Lounge Chair/Dining Chair. Its unique combination of geometric structures and 60's aesthetics will elevate any interior space, providing both comfort and style.
