Embodied in this chair is a journey to become a well-rounded designer.

From Architecture school comes an approach to design following the  Vitruvian Virtues of Architecture: Utilitas, Firmitas, Venustas. The  principle states that design should keep a balance between durability,  utility and beauty.

From Design school comes a newly found appreciation for materials and  manufacturing processes; in particular the meticulous craft of  woodworking.

​

Wood is a  natural material made stronger through the use of joinery. The honesty  of the naked material and the structural properties of its joints are  meant to be celebrated in Junta (the Spanish word for joint).

Junta was designed to withstand the test of time with three types of hard wood chosen by preference and local availability.

​

Its parts are attached through wood joinery and a brass fastener, which introduces another material texture to the design.

​

With a  timeless contour and the use of versatile materials, the chair can be  incorporated in spaces with any design style. Junta will live in homes,  passed on through generations.

Junta  fits comfortably in a number of environments, it accommodates daily  life in solo and sharing activities. Place it in front of a desk to  study or work, a table to share a meal, in the living room to enjoy the  company of others, or next to a window to devour a book.

Wood in  itself is an attractive material and the contrasting hues of its joints  play upon it. Junta encompases a careful harmony between its durability,  utility and beauty.
