The Tela chair is Guilherme Wentz's reinterpretation of a deeply familiar gesture: the woven backrest. Where mid-century furniture relied on natural cane, Wentz reconstructs the pattern in cotton thread, scaled up to offer greater comfort and a softened tactility that reads differently in contemporary interiors. Designed as a counterpart to the Tela lounge chair, this version carries a lower backrest, giving it a profile suited to living rooms and informal dining settings alike. The minimalist frame keeps the visual weight light, letting the woven surface read as the defining element of the piece.

The Tela series reflects his ongoing dialogue between cultural memory and forward-looking form.
