Everything is in exceptional conditions and comes from the same project, making the wonderful light honey color of the rattan extremely even between the different objects. The basketware chairs were fully hand-crafted in curved rattan and hand-woven wicker. The perfect proportions of these chairs are mind-blowing. The center of the seating is enriched by a wonderful work in woven wicker. The seats are supported by a stunning black enameled frame in bent metal. The geometric frame and legs show Rol’s background in architecture and add modernity to the organic material of the seat. The ottoman has a round hourglass-shaped structure made in single pieces of rattan curved at different angles and kept together by a perfect work of woven wicker. The chairs and the ottoman are completed by a round cushion in an elegant white boucle fabric. The spectacular build quality make this set light yet extremely sturdy.
