Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Bat Chair by Baltasar Portillo is Geometrically Artistic

— May 28, 2013 — Art & Design
The Bat Chair is a visually striking seat that may be named after a flying mammal, but looks more like a condensed transmission tower or even the Eiffel Tower. The three design that is part of the Transparency Series, which includes the Armadillo and Lodge chair as well as the Black Dove chair, the Bat Chair has a strong, ornate presence that is hard not to appreciate.

Designed by Baltasar Portillo, who was born in El Salvador and currently working in Europe, the Bat Chair is available at Outdoors Gallery. Although it serves a practical purpose, it is hard not to see it as a work of art to be displayed in the home like a sculpture.
