Beneath Armchair
Beneath Armchair by Leo Orta is a captivating armchair sculpture, born from an exploration of abstraction and sculptural functionality. Designed for the “Form Follows Fantasy” collection, this unique piece embodies a playful reinterpretation of traditional furniture, transforming the utilitarian object into an organic and enigmatic entity. Leo Orta says of his work: "I seek to create objects that challenge conventions and invite a new perspective on our daily environment. Art and design must nourish each other, to generate enriching and surprising experiences." Made from an innovative mineral composite, the Beneath Armchair sculpture is the result of a complex casting process, followed by a meticulous application of blue pigments. The unique texture, both rough and soft to the touch, is obtained by a specific sandblasting process, revealing a subtle chromatic depth.
