Mexican Conacaste Modern Rustic Solid Wood Chair with Fine Leather Seats

About the Item

In the Michoaca´n hillside lays Cuanajo, a town inhabited entirely by Purhe´pechas, the largest group of indigenous people in the state of Michoaca´n. Alejandro Valencia Huacuja, craftsman and manufacturer, leads the Mora-Huacuja local workshop in Cuanajo, a town whose main economic activity is the work with wood and its varieties. He has been working with wood since he was a child growing up between dust and sticks. Being able to learn from his family a tradition and way of life that has been passed on from generation to the next. “Touching the nature of wood, appreciating its texture and smell, is the beginning of a story that will continue to exist in those who enjoy it,” says Alejandro. Estrella on the other hand, with a degree in architecture and her great passion for design had always wanted to involve her work with the people from her home state, Michoaca´n. After meeting Alejandro they both decided to start their own furniture line, focusing on Conacaste wood, a very elegant and resistant wood from the region. “It’s not just about crafting beautiful designs, but about preserving the knowledge of our ancestors while creating something that speaks to today’s lifestyle while standing the test of time,” says Estrella. Mexican architect Estrella Zamorano's collection "was born with the intention of returning the identity of Mexico's history to design, creating links between artisans and designers, so that working together we can weave a future respectful of ancestral techniques, as well as being an engine for the economic development of the communities that continue to work in an artisanal way," as she mentions in the interview. This beautiful armchair is crafted using high end solid conacaste wood (Enterolobium cyclocarpum) also known as Parota wood. By partnering with local communities in Michoacan, Mexico, Estrella collaborates with artisans from Ihuatzio and Cuanajo to create a durable, contemporary, and resistant beach house chair. Fine leather used in armchairs.
