American tulipwood

ESDIR (Escuela Superior de Diseño de la Rioja)

After observing the Logroño food market - a space that used to foster a sense of community, but in recent years has become modernised and fast-paced - Sheila wanted to design a piece that could reintroduce older traditions for all generations of people who inhabit the market. The final design takes cues from the classic Enea and Misericord chairs; a type of church seating that doubles as a shelf to support a person in a partially standing position during long periods of prayer. For the main structure, Sheila chose American tulipwood because of the sinuosity of its veins and tonal variation and Danish cord has been woven to create a comfortable back support.
