About the Item

Paul Evans (1931–1987) was a visionary American furniture designer, sculptor, and artist celebrated for his groundbreaking role in the American Craft Movement of the 1970s. Renowned for his bold, Brutalist-inspired sculpted metal furnishings, Evans set himself apart with a style that fused fine art with functional design. He is perhaps best known for his innovative collaborations with Directional Furniture, where he pushed the boundaries of craftsmanship, form, and modern aesthetics. His pieces often feature hand-welded, textured metal surfaces that feel both raw and refined. Collector and performer Lenny Kravitz once described Evans’ work as “stunningly beautiful, stunningly ugly, stunningly tacky, [and] stunningly sophisticated”—a reflection of the dramatic contradictions that make his work so captivating, influential, collectible, and enduringly relevant today.

John Dickinson, Hand-Carved Chair, USA, 1969
By John Dickinson

Pair of Che-Chent Rocking Chairs by Salvador Vidal
Located in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon
When ones speaks of Cancun and Isla Mujeres one always thinks of sun, sand, beaches and the ocean; the most marvelous in the world. That is exactly how it is. Years ago, a beautiful project was born in Cancún which makes us feel very proud to be natives of our caribbean, to give an identity to the area by creating a 100% native handcraft, and by giving our people the opportunity to enable themselves and develop a manual ability, even become true artists of woodwork. This is because we put all our effort into each piece of our furniture; and the best of oneself goes into its creation. We are conscious of the responsibility of representing to the world a product proudly born in Cancún. Sincerely Salvador Vidal...
