Valentina Up Dining chair
The contrast between its large upholstered volumes and its minimal structure is the most distinctive feature of the Valentina Up collection. One of Diabla’s first designs, created by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret, it is the ultimate expression of the brand’s informal, fun, and unique style. Valentina Up is a collection that has been born out of the fusion of two cushions — the cushion being a universal item that is widely used across various cultures. This collection has been meticulously crafted with a minimalistic approach, emphasising the concept of “less is more.” However, despite its simplicity, Valentina Up does not compromise on its powerful expressiveness.
Made up of different seats and low tables, as well as a lounger, the Valentina Up collection now incorporates a chair that can be used both outdoors and indoors. The backrest area of this piece is efficiently and stylishly gathered by its net-like structure, which is constructed from zinc-plated iron rod. This design creates a simulated continuity with the V-shaped legs, which, despite their light appearance, are surprisingly solid.
