20 de jul. de 2020 · Diseño. Clara Porset, la mujer que redefinió el diseño latinoamericano. Inspirada por las piezas creadas artesanalmente en México, Porset borró la línea entre arte y artesanía para impulsar un diseño tan estético como funcional. Por Alejandro I. López. 20 de julio de 2020. Archivo Clara Porset. CIDI. FA. UNAM.
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.
Nevertheless, one can interpret Albers’s design for a butaque as tangible evidence of a shared admiration. 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.
