Spanish Turning Barefoot Chair in Rosario – Classic Castilian Elegance

Spanish Barefoot Turning Chair in Rosario

This exceptional barefoot chair is an ode to traditional Spanish cabinetmaking of the 19th and early 20th centuries, inspired by the austere but stately designs of the Spanish Renaissance. The protagonist element is, without a doubt, its solid wood structure carved entirely in “rosary” (or ball) turning, a laborious technique that gives a rhythmic texture and a unique sculptural presence to the legs, crossbars and backrest uprights.
The dark walnut wood finish contrasts masterfully with the cream/ivory linen or textured fabric upholstery, which has been renovated to bring contemporary luminosity to a structure with centuries of history. The knob-shaped endings at the top of the backrest are the hallmark of the “friar” style chairs, adapted here to a lower and more welcoming format.
