The project started in school during a course on furniture design. My mentor was Juan Baixas, a chilean architect and author of the Puzzle Chair (1975).
For him a chair has to resist both the weight of a person sitting on it and, in a metaphorical sense, the gaze of a person admiring it.
I started experimenting with small cardboard models and gave shape to the chair through the intersection of planes. This was followed by an iterative process, in which I made different miniature models of the chair before moving to a full scale model.
Inspired by the Red Blue Chair by Gerrit Rietveld (1917), I designed the chair with cross base to be of similar dimensions and angles.
