Astral Brazilian Contemporary Wood And Fabric Easychair And Pouf By Lattoog

Armchair with structure in solid wood and upholstered fiberglass.Armchair + stoolThe “Astral” armchair is Lattoog's latest release for Empório das Cadeiras and is the youngest of a family of furniture affectionately baptized by the designers of Série Viralatas. two pieces of furniture, in general modernist classics, are fused (or syncretized) to result in a third design of an original piece of furniture, completely different from the others, but with a strong “genetic load” of its generative matrices. A concept invented by Lattoog in 2005 that has been a great influence for designers from Brazil and abroad as well. Here, strong but subtle references to Brazilian roots and culture are presented: Miscegenation, syncretism and “viralism”.Astral is born from the fusion of the shapes of the Tank armchair in curved wood by the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto with the BKF armchair (also known as Butterfly) by the Argentine group Austral, created in 1938. The result is a piece with a strong conceptual-cultural narrative that regardless of its visual characteristics. An attribute that the designers Leonardo and Pedro titled a few years ago the “Fourth Dimension of the Object”.
