THE VALLARTA BACKREST STOOL CHAIR

About

Ricardo Legorreta was one of Mexico’s most influential architects, known for translating cultural heritage into monumental modern forms. Drawing from indigenous and colonial traditions, his work is defined by bold geometry, luminous colour, and sculptural use of light and shadow.

From the Camino Real Hotel in Mexico City to the MARCO Museum in Monterrey and landmark buildings across the U.S. and beyond, Legorreta’s architecture bridged tradition and modernity with striking clarity. His furniture echoes the same vision — geometric, grounded, and quietly monumental.

Design
Compact yet architectural, the Vallarta Backrest Stool translates Legorreta’s structural clarity into a seat of quiet strength. A woven palm backrest and seat rest atop four conical pine legs, forming a silhouette that feels both rooted and refined. More than a stool, it is a sculptural gesture — balanced, intentional, and unmistakably Legorreta in its blend of geometry and grace.
