20 de jul. de 2020 · El diseño como vía para el buen vivir. Esta decisión fue un paso decisivo en la vida de Porset como diseñadora. De la mano de Josef y Anni Albers, Clara desarrolló una visión integral del arte y el diseño.
This butaque chair, a vernacular furniture form in Mexico for centuries, is a colonial-era hybrid of Spanish folding chairs and Indigenous ritual seating. Albers learned about this form from Cuban-born Clara Porset, a former student of his at Black Mountain who became a leading designer in mid-century Mexico.
Two surviving c. 1940 sketches show him working through the chair’s design that ultimately led to two versions for Black Mountain College, now identified as Mexican Chair Type A and B. Both examples directly share affinities with those designed by Porset.
