Architect, designer, and cult figure of 20th-century Mexican architecture, Manuel Parra approached space as a total composition — blending building, furniture, and material into a unified language. Known for repurposing elements from his own construction sites, he developed Early Mexican Handmade Furniture, a series of raw, sculptural pieces made from reclaimed wood. His work reflects a deep reverence for colonial form, vernacular craft, and the lived poetry of architecture made by hand.
Part of Parra’s Early Handmade Furniture series, the console reflects a vision of architecture lived through objects — where furniture is not added to space, but born from it. Each piece is singular, shaped by resourcefulness, rhythm, and the everyday poetry of material reuse.
