Using the principles of improvisation, the found material is not altered, but suggests the design itself. The concept behind Atalaya is that, instead of modifying the wood following a predetermined conception, Aracena M\u00fcller conceives an improvised building system through cuts and joints that generates different functional objects such chairs, stools and tables. This building system presents a two-fold pursuit: the maker\u2019s search for particular locations to discover each individual scrap, and the user\u2019s search for product functionality once the objects are finished.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"618\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/22235727\/9_ATA5_Capsule3_NicolasAracenaMyller_FranParente-728x618-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1521\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/22235727\/9_ATA5_Capsule3_NicolasAracenaMyller_FranParente-728x618-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1521\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"626\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/22235729\/14_ATA7_Capsule3_NicolasAracenaMyller_FranParente-728x626-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1523\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"626\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/22235729\/14_ATA7_Capsule3_NicolasAracenaMyller_FranParente-728x626-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1523\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"637\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/22235019\/5-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1502\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/22235019\/5-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1502\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"635\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/22234957\/4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1500\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/media.notesbook.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/22234957\/4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1500\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The finished chairs are on view at Chamber now, along with the tools Aracena M\u00fcller used to create them.
