Paco Muñoz Pair of 'Riaza' Hunting Children's Chairs in Walnut and Leather

Paco Muñoz for Darro, pair of 'Riaza' chairs for children, walnut, leather, metal, Spain, 1960s

This robust low lounge chair, designed by Paco Muñoz in the 1960s, exemplifies the classic hunting chair style. Its design features leather that is loosely attached to the frame with straps, serving both as structural support and a key element of the chair's aesthetics. The cognac leather has developed a rich, age-appropriate patina, adding to its authentic charm.

This chair was designed for the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid project.

Paco Muñoz (1929 - 2009) was a Spanish designer who founded Darro in 1959 as a movement against the recently fallen Franco Regime and to break through the cultural isolation. Founded by Muñoz in 1959, the design company Darro created furniture with a focus on European modernity and to neglect the more traditional, Spanish styles. Being inspired by Italian designers such as Gio Ponti and Scandinavian Modern, the influences of these design aesthetics were clearly visible in Darro's furniture.
