CHAIR FOR THE CHAPEL OF THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE

About

Antonio Attolini Lack was a visionary Mexican architect known for his bold modernist language and deep sensitivity to space, material, and ritual. With a career rooted in Mexico City, his work bridged architecture and object, scale and intimacy — shaping environments with a sculptural, almost spiritual clarity. The pieces presented here reflect his lesser-known yet powerful explorations in furniture and object design, where form becomes both functional and architectural gesture.

Design
Designed for the Capilla de la Virgen de Guadalupe in Mexico City, this chair reflects a quiet synthesis of sacred form and modernist clarity. Crafted in pine and originally placed at the altar, it was conceived in dialogue with the Brutalist architecture of the church — its restrained silhouette echoing the strength and stillness of the space it inhabits. It is a contemplative object that bridges devotion, architecture, and design.
