Don Shoemaker, the best-known furniture designer of the Mexico Modernist movement. His use of quality materials and wood types contributed to the popularity of his furniture pieces. This pair of chairs, whose main structure was made using mahogany wood, is a remarkable example of Shoemaker’s style. The twisting and spiraling design of the chair’s arms and legs are particularly noteworthy.
