The design is rooted in traditional Spanish and Mediterranean forms, combining sturdy, architectural lines with expressive detailing.

The chair features a shaped leather back and seat, both secured with large, evenly spaced metal studs, creating a strong visual rhythm while emphasizing the handcrafted construction. The gently curved seat offers a comfortable sit, framed by straight, robust arm supports.

The wooden frame is defined by its clean, rectilinear structure, softened by subtle shaping to the arms and uprights. A decorative front stretcher with carved geometric motifs adds an element of refinement and craftsmanship, while reinforcing the structure.

The leather has developed a deep, time-worn surface with natural variations, complementing the aged timber frame. Overall, the chair presents a balanced combination of rustic character and restrained ornamentation, typical of Spanish furniture from the period.
