Weave
The seating collection explores the relationship between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary furniture design. Inspired by visits to specialist furniture workshops in Vietnam, the collection draws on the time-honoured techniques of heating and hand-bending bamboo to create elegant, lightweight frames, finished with woven rattan or natural grass by skilled local artisans.
The original bamboo prototype was featured in Design Quarterly (DQ) Magazine, recognising its contemporary interpretation of traditional craft and thoughtful use of sustainable materials. The collection has since been refined and expanded, preserving the integrity of the original design while introducing precision-crafted stainless steel frames for outdoor use, hand-finished with artisan-braided and woven coverings in a palette of natural, tactile finishes.
Defined by sculptural simplicity and refined detailing, the collection reflects a considered balance of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design, expressed through honest materials and carefully resolved construction.
