crafted outdoor furniture: the magic of braiding rope
The craftsmanship of rattan furniture fueled the growth of our company since its establishment. In the past decade, it also ignited change: by means of exploring the different possibilities of this natural material we stepped into an exciting new future. But rattan is not the only craft technique we have preserved and updated. There’s another kind of magic happening in our factory and it has to do with another humble yet versatile material: rope.
Crafting for the outdoor
Mastering the language of rattan has allowed us to translate it and adapt it into the language of rope. Thus it is possible to apply the know-how and the techniques used in the design and manufacture of indoor rattan collections to the development of excellent outdoor furniture. The magic of braiding rope by hand, the way it’s always been done, happens right here in our premises, from the very beginning to the very end, to ensure the most perfect finishes and the highest quality.
Lapala and Nido: a seafaring heritage
There’s nothing stronger than nautical rope, hand-knitted fishermen nets and sailor knots. The breeze of the close-by Mediterranean sea has sculpted our approach to contemporary design. We have this lasting tradition linked to the trades of sea. And this heritage is somewhat present in the way we work with rope. Two of our outdoor furniture collections excel in this aspect: Lapala and Nido. The two families (comprising outdoor chairs, armchairs and stools) are made of stainless steel tube and in both cases high-resistance rope is used to dress their fine structure. For Lapala, the reedition of a classic Mediterranean chair designed in the nineties by Lievore Altherr Molina, we chose a thin round rope, while for Javier Pastor’s Nido, we took a flat one with a wider section. The rope is tightly twisted around the frame creating appealing patterns and mesmerising optical effects.
Respect your roots to aim for the sky
Braiding rope is an ancient craft technique that’s transmitted in our factory in Spain from the older skilled generations of craftsmen (and women) to the younger, exactly as it happens with rattan. A process of attentive listening, active learning and infinite love now happening in a more industrial, technological context, and yet essentially the same. This is how we think contemporary Mediterranean design should be: grateful and respectful of its heritage and bold enough to embrace new risks to keep pushing lore and tradition into the future. Only by respecting your roots, you will see your branches grow further from the ground and reach for the sky. It’s as valid for nature as it’s valid for culture and valid for business.
