Description

The Maguey Chair from the collection La Tarde de Quetzalcoatl is a sculptural dining chair designed to transform the way we gather at the table. Named after the natural maguey fiber woven into its backrest, this low-profile chair blends comfort with cultural tradition. Its form encourages sobremesa, the cherished practice of lingering after a meal, by supporting both dining and relaxed lounging.

The stepped silhouette takes inspiration from pre-Columbian thrones found in Mesoamerican codices. Each surface is treated with a distinct texture, creating a layered visual richness that rewards close inspection. Handcrafted with natural fibers and thoughtful detailing, the Maguey Chair is more than seating, it is a conversation piece that bridges history, comfort, and contemporary living.

Textiles: Seat fabric is hand-dyed using natural materials. Variations in tone are part of the process, and fading will occur over time as a natural characteristic of the dye.

Craftsmanship: This is the first edition of the Maguey Chair. Each piece is handmade, and as such, carries minor imperfections and irregularities that attest to its authenticity and artisanal origin.

Limited edition (2 total). Cherry wood & sisal fiber, cotton dyed with North American indigo. First edition; handmade with expected fading, minor imperfections, and unique variations.
