Diabla Chairs: Simple and versatile, but with a twist
31 October, 2023Our furniture transcends functionality to enhance the living experience, as well as the boundaries between indoors and outdoors to create limitless habitats. The first step, the most special also, involves selecting each of the materials with care and attention: resistant, durable and beautiful.
Classic designs such as TRIP, VENT and GRILL, or novelties such as the TUBA, EASY or PLIER chairs combine aesthetics, good know-how and comfort in any type of situation. And as Otl Aicher, the great master of the Ulm School of Design, would say, “A chair with an uncomfortable seat is a bad chair, even if it can serve as a work of art. It’s bad design.” We look for the best design to relax and unwind.
José A. Gandía-Blasco and Borja García reinterpret a classic of industrial design with TRIP. Comfortable, resistant, lightweight, and with the nomadic spirit with which the collection was born, we manufacture it in 100% thermo-lacquered aluminum and plastic fabric that adapts to all types of weather conditions.
Its versatility and lightness allow it to fit into any environment: from outdoor to indoor spaces, from a beach house to a city apartment, and also in contract surfaces, which need to be reconfigured often. The fact that it is foldable becomes a plus for small spaces with a casual spirit.
VENT, designed by Made Studio, the architecture studio of Borja García and Laura Ros, is our “chameleon chair”. The perfect wild card for all types of environments and decorative styles, indoors and outdoors, thanks to our very wide color palette: a sober and discreet design in neutral tones, such as white, light gray or anthracite; or that colorful and fun piece that transforms a space, in colors like pink, red or sand.
In two versions, with four legs or skid style, it is stackable and very resistant, thanks to the fact that the seat and backrest are made of a single piece of rigid polyurethane.
TUBA, one of the most recent additions to our catalog, is a design created by Samuel Wilkinson with striking aesthetics and meticulous detail. This ingenious and comfortable chair brings together 19 pieces joined together in a masterful work of welding points, achieving a clean and subtle aesthetic, like that of the musical instrument with which it shares its name.
It seems to be made of a soft and elastic material, while in reality it is rigid: the 100% recyclable aluminum tubes seem to rest spontaneously one after the other. A genuine chair, capable of providing indoor and outdoor spaces with a differential style.
The design of EASY, by Rocío Gambín, is specifically conceived to fit into multiple styles and types of environments for a long time: a contemporary classic of essential character and studied in detail to achieve maximum versatility, to which is added an interesting range of colors.
Monomaterial, available in a version with and without arms, and accompanied by an auxiliary table, which also functions as a stool. Made of aluminum, the different elements of the EASY collection are designed for outdoor use, from small terraces to large collective spaces.
The key to the design of PLIER, created by OiKo Design, is its development of the seat and backrest by folding, which generates a curved and welcoming surface that comfortably accommodates the body. A chair that meets all the suitability conditions: it is light, stackable, single-material, resistant and everyday.
The knowledge by the studio and our company of a material with as many capabilities as aluminum allows for a sustainable and resistant design with a simple aesthetic language. PLIER is made from a succession of thin aluminum slats, laser cut and bent in a curve to form a seat with sinuous lines, breaking limits between interior and exterior.
Symmetry is a characteristic that provides visual peace, and with GRILL, MUT Design manages to champion it in a “design” collection by definition, inspired by the universe of Piet Mondrian. Objects that border on the sculptural line, capable of adapting to any style, terrain and climate, due to their versatility and presence.
We make GRILL chairs and stools in curved square-section aluminum, thermo-lacquered and textured to avoid scratches and fingerprints, a material that stands out for its lightness and resistance, and also has a wide range of colors in seven shades to choose from.
Suitable seats for each environment. Our DIABLA chairs try to escape from rigid spaces and adapt to a changing and flexible daily life.
