Armando Franco was a Mexican architect and designer known for his refined modernist sensibility and deep attention to material and structure. A student of José Villagrán and collaborator of Max Cetto, his work reflects a commitment to clarity, modular thinking, and elegant restraint. Franco’s designs translate architectural logic into timeless forms — crafted with precision, built to endure.
Design
The COFRAN Chair S1C expresses structure with quiet confidence. Crafted in solid wood with a palm-woven seat, the chair reveals its construction with clarity — a high or low backrest and seat formed from separate leather pieces, each wrapped and secured with visible restraint.
Balanced in proportion and grounded in artisanal technique, the S1C reflects the essence of mid-century Mexican modernism: honest in form, refined in material, and designed to endure across contexts — from dining room to living space.
