HERO.jpg

The Rochester chair features a compact, enveloping form. The bucket seat is integrated into a single body that wraps around the backrest and armrests, generating a clear and cohesive silhouette.

The structure is based on three supporting elements: two front legs and a central rear support. A vertical element and a horizontal one meet with constructive simplicity, creating a precise balance between solid surfaces and openings. The torus-shaped section outlines a continuous, fluid silhouette capable of introducing rhythm into a rigorous framework. The soft profile engages in dialogue with the compactness of the structure, creating a contrast between strength and comfort. The material is expressed openly, the form is sharp, the presence is defined. Its name references the city of Rochester, in the State of New York, guardian of a direct and unornamented architectural season. From that urban memory, the chair absorbs a clear and concise attitude, composed of primary lines and precise proportions. Rochester is a presence that defines space through proportion, volume and formal integrity.
