Temes Brazilian Contemporary Wood and Straw Easychair by Lattoog

About the Item

The design of the Temes easychair chair was born of the fusion of two extraordinary pieces of furniture: ´La Chaise´ by Charles and Ray Eames (created in 1948), and the chair designed by Portuguese/Brazilian designer Joaquim Tenreiro (created between 1940-1950). This chair is part of the ´Fusions Series´, a diverse collection of pieces including furniture, objects and architectural elements which are the result of a constant recombination process among furniture and objects resulting in next-generation creations. The Temes easychair embodies the concept of "cultural anthropophagy", launched in Brazil by Oswald de Andrade in 1928 – the notion of devouring the colonial culture and transforming it into something Brazilian and revolutionary. The chair makes strong yet subtle references to the roots of Brazilian culture, expressing a true "mongrel" philosophy that highlights the elements of miscegenation and syncretism in the Brazilian people. Winner of TOP XXI 2011 Award. Brazil.

  • Surf Brazilian Contemporary Wood and Leather Easychair by Lattoog
    By Lattoog
    Located in Sao Paolo, BR
    Developed for both outdoor and indoor areas, this armchair refers directly to a sport with great cultural identification with Brazil: surf. The first piece produced in order to present the concept had the backrest and chair seat shaped manually in expanded polyurethane, the same used in the manufacture of surfboards. Now, in the official release for the market as serial pieces, we offer both chair and armchair in two versions: upholstered or wooden chair seat.
