Guacamaya

Guacamaya is a chair designed with leftover material (PMMA). In addition to its function as a chair, it also aims to showcase Colombian roots and the richness of color and pattern found in this country's handicrafts. As an artisanal product, Guacamaya was precisely designed and assembled piece by piece to ensure perfection.
