ALTO CHAIR


A chair — one of the simplest, yet most intriguing typologies I’ve encountered throughout my practice. It is often a statement of design intention for any furniture or product designer.

Alto is a dining chair designed for interior spaces, born from visual research carried out over several years across different cities in Mexico. This research focused on identifying shared influences, recurring details, materials, and shapes that have shaped the visual language of traditional Mexican furniture.

Its architectural structure and almost rigid appearance are influenced by early, vernacular pieces commonly found in flea markets, old restaurants, and homes throughout Mexico — where the presence of Spanish colonial design is still evident, not only in furniture and objects but also in architecture and interiors.
