With Chairs & Architects, illustrator Jorge Arévalo celebrates some of the most iconic chairs in history, designed by great architects. His illustrations connect architecture with everyday objects, demonstrating how designers’ creativity extends far beyond building structures.

Among the reinterpreted chairs, standout pieces include Philip Johnson’s Johnson Chair, the Barcelona Chair by Lilly Reich and Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto’s Paimio Chair, and the Lounge Chair and Ottoman by Charles and Ray Eames. Other architects who have left a lasting mark on furniture design with timeless creations include Walter Gropius, Frank Lloyd Wright, Marcel Breuer, and Jean Prouvé.

Active since the late 1990s, Jorge Arévalo has collaborated with Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and other prestigious magazines. His graphic style has become a reference point thanks to his portraits for La Luna in El Mundo and numerous international awards. Beyond Chairs & Architects, he has illustrated jazz icons, history’s great couples, and pop culture figures, also working with brands like Carolina Herrera, Ray-Ban, and Shiseido.

In Chairs & Architects, Arévalo’s illustrations narrate the connection between architecture and furniture, transforming each chair into a manifesto of its time. With his distinctive style, he captures the essence of these creations, paying tribute to the history of design and its leading figures.
