Contemporary Leiras Lounge Chair by Domingos Tótora, Brazil, 2013
About the Item
The Contemporary Leiras Lounge Chair by Domingos Tótora is a stunning example of the designer's commitment to sustainability and innovation. The chair is crafted entirely from recycled cardboard, which has been carefully layered and molded to create a striking, organic form. The chair's unique shape is reminiscent of the flowing curves of nature, with the undulating surface providing both visual interest and a comfortable seating experience. The natural, earthy tones of the cardboard are accentuated by the chair's simple, minimalist design, which allows the material to take center stage. The Leiras Lounge Chair is not only beautiful, but also durable and eco-friendly, making it a perfect addition to any modern, environmentally-conscious home.
About the artist:
Born and raised in Maria da Fé, a small Southeastern Brazilian town in the Mantiqueira Mountains, Domingos Tótora finds in this habitat of expression and experimentation not only his roots and affective ties, but also his main source of inspiration: nature. Surrounded by the local landscape, the designer works with a surprising raw material, recycled cardboard, to create furniture, objects and sculptural pieces. The beauty of Tótora’s work manifests itself not only in the finished piece, but also in the careful, certified sustainable process through which cardboard, which originated as wood, is essentially brought back full cycle by taking on a wood-like quality again through the careful work of the designer’s hands.

Domingos Tótora
Domingos Tótora was born and raised in Maria da Fé, Brazil, 1960. He creates objects and sculptures where beauty is inseparable from function, lifting common everyday objects and injecting them with the spirit of the beautiful mountainous region he grew up in. After studying design in São Paulo and Inspired by the large amounts of discarded cardboard he saw in the streets, Tótora created a process where reclaimed cardboard is broken down into small parts, transformed into a cellulose plaster and with the use of added water, glue and natural pigments gets shaped into new forms. Although Tótora’s team follows his designs closely, his creations are made by hand and inherently open for little imperfections and differences, purposely adding to the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic of the work.
