Furniture dealer Cristina Grajales showed these tattooed chairs, "El Castor," at the Latino section of Design Miami last month and I keep thinking about them!!!! They were designed in 2008 by internationally acclaimed designer and architect Pedro Barrail. The tattoo patterns are burned into the wooden chairs. Barrail's furniture, produced in his native Paraguay, reflects his interest in a a cross section of cultures and their relationships. I think these chairs reflect a strong relationship between the contemporary Mexican artist Dr. Lakra, who embellishes images and other found objects with tattoo-style designs and Barrail. Both artist uses incorporate the art of tattoo to create sculptural objects. "Barrail designed an object the challenges conventional labels. Using the traditional engraving techniques of the Paraguayan tribe, PAI-TAVYTERA (meaning:"habitants of the city of the center of the world") to decorate a thoroughly modern chair, he seamlessly combines traditional and contemporary design techniques into a single piece. With "El Castor" Pedro Barrail confronts accepted labels to unveil an innovative design style that defies convention." Cristina Grajales Inc.
I think any object that stays with me this long is destined to be part of my "accessorations,"
unfortunately there is no room in my house for these pieces and I would hate to visit them in my storage bins!!!!!!
