THE GALA CHAIR

About

Agustín Hernández was a visionary of modern Mexican architecture — a master of monumental form, symbolic geometry, and structural innovation. His work bridges the pre-Hispanic and the futuristic, shaping bold, expressive buildings that feel both grounded in heritage and radically forward-thinking.

Projects like the Escuela del Ballet Folklórico, the Calakmul Corporate Center, and his own studio reflect a design language where structure becomes symbol — and architecture, a vessel of identity. This same language extended into his furniture design, where chairs like the Gala became sculptural distillations of his spatial thinking — works that carried the same conceptual force and geometric clarity as his buildings, scaled for the body.

Design
The Gala Chair extends Hernandez's architectural language into sculptural form. Defined by sharp angles and commanding symmetry, the chair embodies his vision of structure as poetry — where balance, geometry, and presence converge. More than a seat, the Gala Chair is a spatial gesture: architectural, assertive, and emblematic of Hernández’s lifelong pursuit of design as expression and equilibrium.
