Portuguese furniture company, AROUNDtheTREE Natural Design, has been shortlisted in the design et al International Product Design Awards 2013. The Portuguese Roots Chair is inspired by a traditional Portuguese design, the Gonçalo Chair from 1953. In addition to its exclusive design, it is made using solid wood and natural oil, which provides this model with a unique finish. It’s a simple piece composed of two main lines: one composing the seat and the front legs, the other positioned around the back comprising the back legs; all in single line. The angles are perfect. This chair was designed to remain timeless, without compromising pertinent issues such as the environment and social responsibility. The design works so well for several reasons, including the simplicity of the lines in its construction and the great comfort provided by its small dimensions. The design is timeless; it blends with different environments.
