Expormim’s new pieces made from rattan...
Rattan is Expormim’s collection, in which the company has revisited and renewed some of its signature pieces. For this purpose, they requested the collaboration of well-known designers. Two of the pieces that have been presented during the prestigious Milan event are “Fontal” and “Náutica,” designed by Óscar Tusquets Blanca and Mut Design respectively.
Expormim has been using rattan since its foundation in the 1960s. This time around, they wanted to take advantage of the material’s lightweight, flexible, sustainable and natural qualities, while innovating in terms of features. The results are pieces which use rattan in ways that diverge from its traditional role as a skin to cover a hidden structure; there is a movement toward visually light, contemporary structures.
