For so long, chair designs have been quite basic with elementary components, ordinary shapes, and materials. But with time, these designs evolved with revolutionary ingredients and outlines that have set the tone for modern design. So much so that even imagining a simple silhouette for a chair feels so unwanted and backward. However, with a clever use of basic materials, one can create a unique chair design as evidenced by the Atacama chair by the student designer Borja Gomendio.

Studying at the University of Design and Technology in Madrid, Spain, Gomendio created the Atacama chair as part of an academic project. The chair has a perfectly balanced, geometric form that is made from hand-woven macramé yarn carefully woven around a plain steel frame.

Named after the Atacama Desert in Chile, the chair features braided thread creating the seat and an almost camouflaged storage compartment underneath to keep books and magazines within reach. The designer wanted to create a piece able to withstand natural elements, which is why he chose lacquered steel tubes that are resistant to rust, making them the perfect choice for outdoor environments.

First, the tubes were cut to size and then welded together to hide seams. The woven material can be customized with a gaggle of colors to suit any individual preference. It even creates an abstract play of shadows when light hits the Atacama chair.
