Chainmail Sculptural Armchair in Metal and Steel

Chainmail chair is a new take on William Katavolos 1952’s T-chair. Its seat is made up of hand-linked metal rings coming together to form a strong and flexible mesh that drapes down its T structure. For Chainmail chair we sought to create a design that supported the idea of a body that is open to different forms of expression; to pain, to pleasure, to pleasure in pain, a body concentrated on its primal instincts. Chainmail chair ultimately seeks to express and question our wish for constraint. Chainmail is a fascinating material. It consists of series of hand linked rings coming together to form a strong and flexible mesh that drapes like a textile. Simple in concept but extremely versatile and charged with meaning. The result of an old craft that somehow looks industrial and modern.     Exhibited at El Elogio de la Sombra- Galerie Philia: Mexico City (2024) GAEA- TRNK: New York (2023) PAD- BOON ROOM: Paris (2023) Zona Maco- Elle: Mexico City (2023) Materia Contexto- LOOT / Materia : Mexico City (2021) Available in a dissasemblable structure or one pice unit.
