Brutalist Chair by Ilana Goor

This Brutalist chair, designed by Ilana Goor, reflects the raw, unrefined beauty that defines the Brutalist aesthetic. Crafted with a keen eye for form and texture, the chair is an exploration of materials and the interplay between function and sculpture. Goor’s design philosophy, which often blurs the line between art and utility, is evident in the chair’s commanding presence and sculptural qualities.

The chair’s structure is forged from heavy, industrial-grade wrought iron, giving it a robust, almost monumental feel. The rough, tactile surfaces, with their intentionally unfinished, raw edges, evoke a sense of strength and permanence, characteristic of Brutalism. The chair’s form is geometric and minimalist, yet it exudes a powerful visual impact through its sheer mass and the stark contrast between the materials used.
The seat and backrest are made from leather, lightly filled for comfort.

Ilana Goor, known for her unique approach to design and art, often draws inspiration from the industrial landscape and ancient artifacts, blending these influences into her Brutalist creations. This chair is a prime example of her ability to transform utilitarian objects into works of art, where every angle and surface is carefully considered and deliberately executed.
