Liliana Ovalle, designed a new modern chair inspired by the improvised furniture of the homeless in Mexico City. Nemed Mugrosia, this chair is made of a metal frame with wooden slats to which beanbags and blankets can be knotted.
This project was presented at Design Miami as part of the exhibition “Call Out to the Americas: Latin America!”.This was the first exhibition presented as a result of an ongoing research on the design scene in the American continent.
This is the continuation of the Mugroso Series, which started with Mugroso Couch when it was presented in 2006 in the Royal College of Art degree show.

The Mugroso Series are based on a photographic research, exploring the hectic historical centre of Mexico City, portraying scenarios of improvisation and poverty where people find the way of putting bits and rubbish together in order to compose functional everyday objects.
The armchair uses the same system developed for Mugroso, where basic structures and random elements are held together with bean bags and ropes, using the knot as a connecting system.The object grows in an intuitive way, sometimes questioning a logical order, just as they naturally appear in the urban landscapes of Mexico City.
