Butaque Clasica, Strapping

Clara Porset

Clara Porset has become synonymous with her reimagining of the classic Latin American Butaque chair. Through her eyes, the low-slung, X-frame shaped chair features a more curved, ergonomic shape, which she enhanced further by teaming it with rich, natural materials like oak, mahogany, wicker and leather in many different iterations. In its most classic version, Porset’s Butaque features subtle flourishes at each end of its wooden frame that’s complemented by an exquisitely woven back.
