Crafted from solid wood with a rich brown finish, the frame supports a suspended leather sling seat. The leather is thick and saddle-stitched with contrasting thread, adding a graphic element and reinforcing its structural function. The chair’s geometry is straightforward, but not plain. Rounded dowel-like rods hold the leather in place. The armrests are broad and flat, almost plank-like, giving it a grounded appearance. Cut-outs in the leather seat aren’t just decorative—they reduce tension and add flexibility, while also giving the piece a more open and sculptural feel. Despite its visual weight, the chair is inviting. The way the leather curves and hangs suggests comfort and flexibility. It’s a piece that feels rooted in traditional craftsmanship but rethought in a modern idiom—exactly what Rodrigues was celebrated for. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
