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
The Attolini Butaque Chair reinterprets a classic Mexican form through the lens of modernist restraint. Designed in 1969 for Antonio Attolini Lack’s own office, it balances mass and minimalism — a sculptural silhouette that echoes both colonial influences and the Brutalist language of the era.
Crafted in wood and paired with a leather or canvas seat, the chair creates a quiet dialogue between structure and surface, weight and ease. A study in proportion and presence, it is a refined tribute to mexicanidad — timeless, grounded, and designed to endure.
