Valchromat Cut-Out Chairs

Lindavista by Rodrigo Osornio is Strong and Industrial

— January 28, 2015 — Art & Design
Those unfamiliar with the material Valchromat will come to know it quite intimately after surveying this cut-out chair design. A mixture of a wood fiber board and a solid surface, it brings an industrial feel to the piece of furniture that is very strong and masculine. Yet the details of the cut-out chair gives it a decorative aesthetic as well, which will appeal to a larger demographic.

Designed by Rodrigo Osornio, who hails from Mexico, the cut-out chair is dubbed Lindavista. Although the cut-outs could be assumed as purely decorative, they serve a practical purpose as well. The cut-out chair curves and folds comfortably because of them. Meticulously assembled, there are 23 separate pieces that easily fit together. The result is quite unique, especially when it comes to the raw coloring.
