Description
Raphia is the offspring of a research project into the use of materials and how they can be exploited as furnishings. It is the perfect convergence of modernity and tradition, of technology and craftsmanship. An oxymoron that brings together two of the spirits of production in Italy: the metal industry and the small, timehonoured manufacturers of cane products. The aim of the project is to lend a certain continuity to the tradition of crafting with cane, one that stretches back to the beginning of the last century when the areas specialising in this craft saw schools and a culture revolving around this material thrive. Today, there remain very few firms which conserve the know-how of this trade, where manual skills and craftsmanship combine to insure that every creation is unique. Raphia embodies this history and tradition in a contemporary context, thanks to a harmonious balance between two materials: the metal structure is the base upon which the cane and rattan are weaved to create the seating area.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its clean, natural aesthetic and its versatility in various interiors. The rattan element adds a warm, textured touch that works beautifully in bohemian, coastal, or Scandinavian settings, while the black frame lends a contemporary edge. It’s a great choice for mixing styles-pair it with a modern dining table for a relaxed look or use it to add visual interest to a more eclectic space. Practical styling tips include balancing the natural feel with layered textiles, such as cushions or throws, to enhance comfort and visual appeal, or pairing it with neutral, earthy tones for a cohesive, laid-back vibe. It’s both aesthetically pleasing and functional, making it ideal for stylish, everyday use.
