Dorada Lounge Chair

by Ben

Dorada Lounge Chair is a sculptural embrace, where the rigid grandeur of architecture meets the softness of human repose. Drawing inspiration from the opulent vocabulary of Art Deco, it is defined by sweeping, monumental arches of highly polished, figured timber. These dynamic curves are grounded by subtle bronze detailing, creating a rich material dialogue against the warm, tactile expanse of the upholstery.

Far more than a seat, the Dorada is a functional art object conceived as a “future antique.” It rejects the transient in favor of the enduring, offering generous proportions that invite a slower, more deliberate way of living. Every element, from the hand-selected wood grain to the precise joinery, attests to the hand of the master artisan. It is a bold statement of warmth and sophistication intended for the discerning collector.
