With Modern, Spanish Style

-

Toro, meaning ‘bull’ in Spanish, is the latest product developmen­t from OKHA, the internatio­nally-acclaimed furniture design and interior decorating firm. “I like to think that the chair has a powerful physical presence, like the bull it is loaded... charged with an assured power,” says Adam Court, Creative Director of OKHA. The carbon stained ash with its subtle satin finish and the dense, near black velvet, recall the glossy black hide of the animal, with daylight reflecting off flanks and haunches. When we conjure up an image of the animal, we etch a sharp, defined silhouette, a format once powerful and sensual and invariably dressed in black. The sculpted arms symbolise the bull’s horns; they are strong and assertive with intent as is the structure of the chair, which possesses a very physical and rigorous constructi­on. The stance of the chair is very robust and firmly rooted, and as with the bull its kinetic forward power comes from its rear haunches which drive forwards. For more informatio­n, visit www.okha.com.
