Sculptural Chair exhibited at Design Miami. Wood and Linen Leopard Pattern

About the Item

The sculptural armchair exhibited at Design miami '23 is made from vegan leather (4 layers of linen and 1 of Belgian cotton) with a leopard-inspired print on top, made with ecological and sustainable paint. Collectible design and unique piece, It has a wooden structure and vegan leather seating. The Fastest Vegan Leather Chair Ever was designed by Barcelona-based acclaimed designer Jordi Ribaudí. The armchair -that actually is like a throne- is a reflection on the contrasting concepts of form/appearance and object/symbol. It reveals the contradictions between what we want to appear to be and what we really are. The designer incorporates these reflections within his working methods; ideas which are reflected in the furniture pieces he makes, usually by hand, from vegetable-tanned animal leather. However, with the request of Design Miami, he has accepted the challenge of incorporating “vegan” leather and produced a material derived from linen; a material that reflects sustainability, between reality and artifice.

Mimesis #1 by Jordi Ribaudí, Buffalo Leather Sculptural Furniture
By Jordi Ribaudí
Located in Barcelona, ES
Through the means that he knows and masters – matter, form and object – Ribaudi reflects and invites us to reflect on the relationship of the human being with the environment and on the new morality with which he intends to face the devastation of the planet. Dressing up the language of materials, turning wood into minerals, leather into vegetables and the spectator into the animal that perceives it, the project questions the animal-centric path that this new morality has taken.

Pouf Leather Cow Brown Unique Handmade Aire_3 by Jordi Ribaudí
By Jordi Ribaudí
Located in Barcelona, ES
New unique comfortable cow leather pouf, handmade. Aire by Jordi Ribaudí_Unit 3 The air gives it shape and fills it, in return the leather gives it the image and protects it. They become two disparate elements, opposed, but working in symbiosis. Characteristic of the material that covers us all living beings, and that at the same time has served as a protector and container in all human cultures. In this case, the leather protects something as ethereal and delicate as the air. BA in Industrial Design. In 1996, Jordi Ribaudí founded Estudi Ribaudí, which specializes in product design, furniture and lighting. As an interior designer, he collaborates with well-known fashion brands. In 2005, he started the restoration of a 19th century tannery, where he moved his studio and which in turn became an exhibition and promotion space for Igualada’s old industrial district. Since 2009, he has been promoting REC.0, an innovative project to give visibility to architectural heritage through the temporary installation of “pop up” shops in abandoned tanneries. As a result of this project, he started to contact and make friends with the tanners in the area, get to know their work and the possibilities of the material. He begins to explore and experiment with leather. Finally in 2015 he starts the TORU project. A mixture of ideas and sensations turned into objects. In 2019 he started his collection Mimesis, a series of seats made with finish pine wood and buffalo water cow...
