1730
MEXA · 2017
1730 stands
for the date that the first Windsor chair was ever produced in American soil,
in Philadelphia. This British origin typology was well received, readapted and
internalized in American popular culture, to the point of becoming a
traditional iconic chair.
For both
teams USA represents a special country, for that, this first collaboration. Mermelada
proposed to honour and revitalize the Windsor style, building a bridge between
the American tradition, Mexican craftsmanship and Spanish design.
From this
mixture results a broad, energetic collection, based in seating items and
tables, available in several finishes that make it outdoor or indoor suitable.
It is built all by hand by Mexican artisans of the iron and the weave.
