Rafael Carreras for MYC-Gavina 'San Remo' Lounge Chair in Cognac Leather

Rafael Carreras Puigdengolas for MYC-Gavina, 'San Remo' lounge chair, leather, lacquered wood, Spain, design 1963

Multi-disciplinary artist from Spanish origin, Rafael Carreras Puigdengolas (1933-2013), commenced his artistic path in various fields – architecture, design, and education. The San Remo, created in the year 1963, exemplifies his visionary approach towards design. This model embodies a substantial and strong profile, characterized by a well-defined geometric structure. The prominence of this particular geometry is emphasized by the deep, black tone of the wooden framework. Departing from convention, the ears are reinterpreted through a modernist lens, adopting crisp rectangular forms and a notable opening. The strength of the piece is enhanced by the generous, padded cushions upholstered in a rich cognac leather. The San Remo was selected for the ADI/FAD Delta awards in 1964.
