Nopal Cactus-Inspired French Oval Chairs – Prickly Pair Chairs

Posted: 06 Aug 2010 01:47 PM PDT

Prickly pair chairs is a result of the creative experience of a Mexican designer in Europe. Valentina Gonzales Wohlers has designed them based on the classical French oval chair originated in the Rococo period during the reign of Louis XV and has since been adopted throughout central Europe. Although she added the Nopal cactus decorations to it to symbolize Mexican heritage and national pride. According to legend, the Gods told the Aztecs to build Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) in the place they saw an eagle standing on a Nopal, devouring a snake. To this day, the image resides on the National Shield. The blend of these two iconographic elements allowed Valentina to create a very original pair of chairs. Don’t you think that cactus-inspired furniture become a new trend? We already showed you the Cactus Chair by Deger Cengiz and the Cactus Stool and now these beautiful Prickly Pair Chairs…

Villa Johansen, designed by Willa Nordic, is a great example of functional and practical design combined with Asian serenity. Starting from the garden that features an amazing pond it took its inspiration from the Japanese and Chinese cultures. The black and white facade provides the character to the house. The interior also features very light colors with black and dark brown splashes. Although there are some elements of luxury as inside as outside of it. Marble floors, decorative stones, generous glazing and stunning staircase make that possible.
