Their buildings are built with industrial materials such as glass, steel, aluminum, but also wood, stone and concrete. The edition includes the "Puzzle Chair" (1975), which "could be a tribute to designer Jean Prouvé with whom the architect Juan Ignacio Baixas studied postgraduate studies, given the ingenious development of this detachable chair that does not use anchors or glued, but which adjusts with the tension provided by the weight of the user. Its built in solid and pressed wood.ʺ (HKB Translation) --Page 9. The chair designed by Juan Ignacio Baixas is part of the permanent collection of MoMA.
