Butaca Palma
Year: 2022 Produced by Sancal since 2026. 1st edition produced by CGN Design Gallery from 2022 to 2026.
“When I first saw this piece, I thought it already existed, that I had seen it before. I looked for where to buy it, and then Marc clarified that he had designed it for himself and that it had ended up as a unique piece exhibited in a gallery in Mexico. He explained that its shape and lunar white finish were inspired by the first spacecraft that landed on the moon. In a way, he was trying to speak of his origins as a child and the space fantasy of that age. And this is Marc's gift: making very personal designs that are, at the same time, archetypal. That is why we naturalize his pieces at first sight,” relates Esther Castaño-López from Sancal.
First functional and proportional prototypes
The Palma armchair was born from the evolution of a previous design made entirely of metal. While maintaining the raw gesture of the original design, the piece transforms into a more approachable object, where the somewhat aggressive expression of the initial material is softened to inhabit the home and other spaces.
Original design for CGN Gallery.
The cushion appears almost as if it had fallen from the ceiling. They are two generous volumes that fit into the structure without hiding it completely. The piece transitions from austerity to generosity.
