This oxidized steel chair is a contemporary Mexican design piece from the Cowgirl collection by Amalgame Studio, featuring a timeworn patinated surface achieved through controlled oxidation. This oxidized steel chair explores steel as a living material, transforming its industrial rigidity into a textured finish that records time and use.
The Cowgirl collection, designed by Amalgame Studio for Toro Manifesto, investigates steel as a surface in constant transformation. Through controlled oxidation processes, the oxidized steel chair develops a natural patina, where variations in tone and texture evoke the memory of skin and the passage of time.
Rooted in Mexico’s vaquera traditions, the conceptual framework reflects resilience and independence. In a horizon where cattle have vanished, the cowgirl remains as a symbolic figure, carrying the legacy of territory and labor. This narrative is embedded within the oxidized steel chair, connecting cultural identity with a contemporary design language.
Each piece is handcrafted, resulting in unique variations in oxidation, tone, and surface texture. This contemporary chair functions as both a seating element and a collectible design object, defined by its material depth and conceptual foundation. By Amalgame
