the inspiration behind this armchair comes from the lifestyle of josé ignacio, originally a fishing village in uruguay. though it has become a luxury destination, the place still holds the essence that made it special: an appreciation for a simple, unpretentious everyday life. the feeling evoked by the josé ignacio chair is like sinking into a hammock. it was designed for arthur casas’ countryside home in the interior of são paulo.

intended for outdoor use, the piece is made from treated teak wood. stainless steel, also resistant to climate variations, is used in the joints to ensure stability. the acqua mesh provides gentle flexibility. the material is handcrafted on a manual loom using an italian weave, made from high-quality composite plastic threads with UV protection to prevent fading and low elasticity—minimizing deformation over time.
