About the Item

Exceptional handcrafted lounge chair designed and created in Hervás, Spain by the renowned artisan Longinos Hernández Prol during the 1980s, recipient of Spain's prestigious National Craft Award in 1986. Its design masterfully blends traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics through a continuous ergonomic weave of natural chestnut fibers, meticulously handwoven over a black tubular metal frame and supported by robust hardwood legs. This ancestral technique, preserved across generations, provides exceptional comfort and authentic historical charm. The chair exemplifies a rare fusion of traditional Spanish craft and modern design, standing out in an era when the concept of "design" was still emerging in Spain. This piece symbolizes the resilience of local craftsmanship against global industrialization, preserving its original authenticity. Ideal for international collectors and connoisseurs of exclusive design, offering both functional and historical value.
