Ricardo Legorreta, armchair “Butaque”, oak, leather, Mexico, 1997

This “Butaque” armchair was designed by Ricardo Legorreta and manufactured by Legorreta Arquitectos in 1997 for the Schwab Residential Center at Stanford University. Made of wood and natural leather, the chair embodies Legorreta’s architectural sensibility, a balance of sculptural strength and material warmth. The design reinterprets the traditional Mexican butaque chair in a modern, architectural form, featuring a gently curved wooden frame and a slung leather seat that emphasizes both comfort and simplicity. The craftsmanship is honest and expressive, revealing Legorreta’s deep understanding of proportion and structure.
