Professional Background

Gerardo Ríos's artistry and craftsmanship is a symbiotic reflection of what he believes in and often finds inspiration on “the daring romance and adventures that we find in people, history and our natural environment”. Ríos’ artistic spirit is inherited from a lineage of artists dating back to his great-great grandfather, the world-renowned painter José MarÍa Velasco.
Each piece of furniture, whether it is a chair, a divan, or a chaise lounge, should create a sense of harmony and provoke a sensual response with the person who experiences it.
For Gerardo Ríos, It is the need to communicate and the possibility of astonishment that defines the word “Design”.

Light in sight and yet sturdy, this piece defies gravity and attracts attention in a room. It is a modern approach of a futuristic perception of the atom-punk current, combined with a retro accent. It can be combined with almost any interior environment where design is key. It is both a piece to enjoy and use.

Cosmic
The tilted lines of this seating piece emulate trendy shapes that bloomed on the late 1950’s, under the fashion current named “atom punk”. This design and its shapes do not have any square angles, it has great technologically and artistic elements, which combined provide great comfort and support. It is manufactured with high density foam, and it can be customized choosing fabric or leather, and also choosing the wood tone for the base.
