Luis Antonio Moreno Aguayo—architect and co-founder of Taller Matatipac in Tepic, Nayarit—presents his project: the Bípeda chair, which uses experimentation to simplify concepts to their elemental roots, employing critique as a tool to fuel creativity.
As its name suggests, it is a two-legged chair—alluding to human legs—that slots into a base to create a functional and practical object for everyday use and transport. The piece draws pre-Hispanic inspiration from artifacts used by the rulers of Western Mexico, as well as from milking stools still found in various communities throughout Mexico.
The project aims to demonstrate that, just as architecture depends on its inhabitants, furniture also relies on interaction with the user.
The Bípeda chair was featured in the Furniture and Object Pavilion exhibited at the Museo de Arte Popular in October 2020 as part of the Abierto Mexicano de Diseño (AMD).
