Set of 4 chairs in the style of DAVID MARSHALL. Seville, 80's. Cast aluminum and brass upholstered in leather. Measurements: 96 x 40 x 56 cm. The tender chairs defy balance and aesthetic conventions as the two rear legs are counterbalanced by a single central front leg. The oval backrest presents a play of full and empty spaces. The pieces by the Sevillian company David Marshall, which opened in the 1980s, "have stood the test of time and have become design classics," according to the creators themselves. For them, the pieces "must satisfy a basic sensual and sculptural concept (the need to feel, touch, caress...) and another fundamental premise: efficiency and functionality". Their star materials are aluminum and brass fused by gravity to the sand, using artisanal methods whose origin dates back to Roman culture.
