PalmSpring refers to the palm on the back of the chair and to the season during which the first chair has been concepted.
The back of the chair is made from recycled Brazilian coffee bags found in Parisians’ coffee roasting plants.
The pearls winding around the armrest are seeds that grow in cluster on the açai palm tree. Their tint is obtained from plant colouring agents.
Created using a vintage bridge armchair picked up for a bargain in Paris, the chair – including the upholstery of the seat itself – was totally refurbished by hand, using French know-how. The work is composed of webbings, hard canvas, leaf fibre and animal hair, twines, cotton cloth and upholstery tack.
Unique item.
