The latest offering by Sebastián Ángeles harmonizes beauty and durability, redefining contemporary luxury with handcrafted pieces that highlight the nobility of wood and leather. Transforming spaces with a commanding yet subtle presence inspired the creation of Cabal, the newest furniture collection by Mexican design firm Dórica. This collection reimagines contemporary luxury by blending elegance, functionality, and timeless design.
In this collection, designer Sebastián Ángeles creates a sensory dialogue by merging the warmth of wood with the softness of leather. The result is a series of pieces that stand the test of time, embodying quality, resilience, and tactile sophistication. The name Cabal—Spanish for "thorough" or "impeccable"—evokes perfection and balance, showcased in clean lines and organic curves that give the pieces a sculptural quality. These elements combine ergonomic functionality with striking aesthetics.
Available in two versions, with or without armrests, the chairs in the Cabal collection transcend trends, becoming focal points in diverse interior design projects. For this collection, Ángeles employed advanced technological processes to ensure structural integrity and comfort, while reaffirming his deep connection to artisanal woodworking and upholstery traditions. By working with solid wood and leather using traditional techniques, the collection pays homage to the craft’s rich legacy.
Cabal not only delivers a visually pleasing experience but also reinforces Dórica's commitment to sustainability, using high-quality raw materials that extend the lifespan of the pieces and celebrate enduring beauty.
This collection joins Sebastián Ángeles' other notable works, including Eréditha, Boreal, Sensato, AP, CO3, and Pentagrama. These collections coexist with art-object pieces like the monumental sculpture Perpetuo and the Frequency collection, presented at Wanted Design Manhattan. Ángeles' portfolio also includes conceptual projects for Design Week Mexico, the Mexican Design Open, and Zona MACO. His work has earned him prestigious accolades such as the DNA Paris Design Award 2024 and AD Iconos del Diseño 2023.
