Reconocimiento: “Furniture Design - Outdoor chair” en el SIT Furniture Design Award 2023
Atacama es una obra de la artesanía moderna que combina la dureza y firmeza del hierro con la inefable delicadeza del hilo de macramé trenzado, inspirada en el imponente desierto que lleva su nombre.
Esta pieza de mobiliario premium busca destacar sin pasar desapercibida, ni olvidar la versatilidad, la comodidad y, por supuesto, la funcionalidad de una silla en la que aparece un compartimento casi inadvertido en parte inferior.
La sociedad siempre ha tendido a comprender la figura de la silla como un objeto meramente funcional; sin embargo, no tiene por qué prescindir de la estética para seguir cumpliendo su principal función.
Atacama is a work of modern craftsmanship that combines the hardness and firmness of iron with the ineffable delicacy of braided macrame thread, inspired by the imposing desert that bears its name.
This premium piece of furniture seeks to stand out without going unnoticed, nor forgetting the versatility, comfort and, of course, the functionality of a chair in which an almost unnoticed compartment appears at the bottom.
Society has always tended to understand the figure of the chair as a merely functional object; however, it does not have to do without aesthetics to continue fulfilling its main function.
El diseño de la silla es minimalista y elegante, con líneas limpias y una estética que la convierte en el centro de todas las miradas. Sus proporciones están perfectamente equilibradas sin comprometer el estilo, creándose además un impactante contraste de materiales gracias a la combinación entre el acero y el hilo trenzado, contribuyendo así al atractivo visual general de la silla.
El marco de la silla está construido con tubos de acero lacados, resistentes al óxido, con la intención de que pueda perdurar en ambientes de exterior. Estos tubos están cortados a medida y soldados para crear una estructura sólida y resistente con capacidad para soportar 150 kg. La soldadura se desdibuja discretamente gracias a una sofisticada técnica que permite oculta la costura en el marco, brindando un aspecto moderno y elegante.

Its proportions are perfectly balanced without compromising style, also creating a striking contrast of materials thanks to the combination of steel and braided yarn, thus contributing to the overall visual appeal of the chair.
The frame of the chair is built with lacquered steel tubes, resistant to rust, with the intention that it can last in outdoor environments. These tubes are cut to size and welded to create a strong and strong structure capable of supporting 150 kg. The weld is discreetly blurred thanks to a sophisticated technique that allows the seam to be hidden in the frame, providing a modern and elegant appearance.
