The Wabi Lounge Chair is a design by Brazilian architect and designer Guilherme Torres, known for his minimalist yet warm aesthetic. The chair reflects a fusion of modernist influences with organic, rustic elements—a signature of Torres' style.
The Wabi Lounge Chair embodies the Japanese philosophy of "Wabi-Sabi"—finding beauty in imperfection, simplicity, and natural materials. The design features:
A solid wood frame (often oak or other warm-toned woods) with clean, geometric lines.
A handwoven rope seat, adding texture and contrast to the rigid structure.
A low, relaxed silhouette, encouraging comfort while maintaining elegance.
Torres described it as a piece that "balances raw materiality with refined form," merging Brazilian craftsmanship with a timeless, understated appeal. The chair is part of his broader exploration of "imperfect design"—where natural wear and organic textures enhance its character over time.
