Armadillo & Lodge Chair by Baltasar Portillo

Art, sculpture, furniture, all three terms are important in the description of the Armadillo and Lodge chairs, part of a series of unique pieces by Salvadorian artist Baltasar Portillo. The architectural form, brings to mind a spanning bridge which enhances the view without blocking it. The chair becomes a part of its environment by allowing the viewer to see through the chair, thus framing the scene in a new way. It is imposing, yet airy and light. The elegant shapes are inspired by organic forms.

Though a native of San Salvador, Baltasar is currently working and living in Europe. Armadillo and Lodge are suitable indoors or out.
