This design was inspired in the natural forms of the human body and in the flow of its visual and aesthetic energy that provides a stimulating sensation towards sensuality and its structure and forms emulate a style of high luxury combined with a strong and warm personality, with great ergonomics and comfort.
The structure was built almost entirely in solid Tzalam Wood
Reinforced in the interior with an aluminum substructure; it is finely upholstered in leather on memory foam cushions with a spare lower layer with high-density foam. The seams were made in silver thread to give more character

Bio
Gerardo Ríos's artistry and craftsmanship is a symbiotic reflection of what he believes in and often finds inspiration on “the daring romance and adventures that we find in people, history and our natural environment”. Ríos’ artistic spirit is inherited from a lineage of artists dating back to his great-great grandfather, the world-renowned painter José MarÍa Velasco. Each piece of furniture, whether it is a chair, a divan, or a chaise lounge, should create a sense of harmony and provoke a sensual response with the person who experiences it.
