The elegant scissor legs and floating back of this dining chair are inspired by the Mexican mid-century chairs of Eugenio Escudero, which were originally designed for a project that overlooked the Bacochibampo Bay of Sonora in the 1950s.

Escudero, a Spanish Civil War refugee, started a furniture company and showroom in Mexico in the 40’s. His style had a particularly organic, often sculptural aesthetic. The tapered legs and minimal seat and back cushions make this dining chair a timeless addition to any contemporary dining setting.
