The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/residential-architecture-interiors\/\">residence<\/a><\/strong>, characterized by skylights and large windows, provides the setting for this dialogue, framing the interaction of furniture and architecture.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Together, the two <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\">wooden<\/a><\/strong> pieces present an exploration of scale and construction.

Constructed from tzalam wood (120 \u00d7 40 \u00d7 44 cm), its surface incorporates a circular opening (18 cm in diameter, 25 cm deep) designed to hold a clay planter (17 \u00d7 55 cm). The integrated planting element transforms the bench into an evolving object that changes over time, linking furniture with natural growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chair Four, influenced by the Oaxacan coast, employs parota wood sourced from the region. OW arquitectos\u2019 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.owarquitectos.com.mx\/\">designer<\/a><\/strong> Omar Wade conceives the chair as a precise cube (60 \u00d7 60 \u00d7 60 cm). Its seat and backrest are formed from 3 mm-thick steel sheets with narrow side flanges, joined to wooden legs with stainless steel bolts. The result is a composition that balances rigidity with a degree of visual permeability.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Bench Three and Chair Four by Omar Wade explore materiality in space<\/p>\n<p>the furniture pieces interact with light inside a concrete house in Mexico City<\/p>\n<p>Banca Tres in the double-height space under the house\u2019s main dome, which illuminates the center of the staircase<\/p>\n<p>Banca Tres integrates wood with a living planter element.<\/p>\n<p>Silla Cuatro standing on the concrete terrace<\/p>\n<p>Silla Cuatro interacting with light in the main concrete hallway<\/p>\n<p>Silla Cuatro\u2019s details of the seat and backrest<\/p>\n<p>geometry and materiality define Silla Cuatro\u2019s composition<\/p>\n<p>designer Omar Wade with Silla Cuatro<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Banca Tres and Silla Cuatro<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.owarquitectos.com.mx\/\">Omar Wade \u2013 OW arquitectos<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/owarquitectos.com.mx\/\">@owarquitectos.com.mx<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.achachfotografia.com\/\">Mariana Achach<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/achachmariana\/\">@achachmariana<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/wooden-furniture-pieces-banca-tres-silla-cuatro-space-materiality-light-omar-wade-ow-arquitectos-09-21-2025\/\">wooden furniture pieces, banca tres and silla cuatro, interact with space, materiality, and light<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Dialogue Between Space, Materiality and Light \u00a0 In southern Mexico City, within a double-height concrete house designed by OW Arquitectos, two furniture pieces by Omar Wade, Banca Tres (Bench Three) and Silla Cuatro (Chair Four), investigate the relationship between space, materiality, and light.
