Riaza Armchair

Riaza armchair, designed by Paco Muñoz in the late 1950s for the Spanish publishing house Darro.

Paco Muñoz was the designer and founder of the Darro publishing house, one of the most significant firms in the modernization of mid-20th-century Spanish interior design. Through Darro, he introduced a contemporary style that reinterpreted Iberian craft traditions through clean lines and a restrained combination of local materials.

The design consists of a straight frame made of dark-stained wood, supporting a thick, continuous piece of leather that serves as the seat and backrest, tensioned by adjustable straps underneath.
