Tirintas Lounge Chair

Furniture Design Tirintas Lounge Chair by Evangeline Marie Pesigan Tirintas is an abstract structural frame chair in metal wrapped with an outer screen of wood veneer. The design is inspired by cultural influences from the Philippines. The dynamic interwoven lines highlight the rare artisanal skills and playful use of the materials’ flexible properties. The process allowed artisans to develop new techniques and foster meaningful interaction. Its open structure invites the user to experience the craft and connect with its surroundings. It is a modern interpretation of traditional form that is versatile, functional, and distinctly defined by Filipino identity.
