God’s s chair

At the beginning of our creative journey, God's chair stands as the first of many collaborations between Esteban Fuentes de María and Taller Batan. It is one of our most organic creations, meticulously designed to showcase the inherent beauty of the wood trunks and the exquisite craftsmanship involved. This duality in our work is also reminiscent of the artistic approach of our friend Esteban, a Pueblan painter renowned for his exploration of religious themes and their connection to the natural world.
The chair is meticulously crafted from a single piece of reclaimed wood, charred to bring forth a striking contrast between the work of God and human artistry. It is intricately adorned with gold leaf accents, while a carefully painted animal motif within the eye adds a captivating layer of symbolism and detail.
