Raphia Rattan, the glocal chair

RAPHIA CHAIR STUDIO LUCIDI PEVERE CASAMANIA

Raphia Rattan is the chair in rattan, a natural fiber derived from a species of palm, and metals created by Studio Lucidi Pevere for Casamania. It is the result of a research project aimed at combining different materials, mixing tradition with modernity. The eye-catching design expresses the perfect harmony between craftsmanship in rattan processing and technology in metal processing.

Raphia Rattan was born from a research project on the use of materials and how they can be exploited as furnishing elements. It is the perfect convergence between modernity and tradition, between technology and craftsmanship. An oxymoron that unites two of the souls of Italian production: the metal industry and the small historic companies producing rattan and wicker products. Today there are very few companies that retain the know-how of rattan, where manual skill and craftsmanship come together to ensure that each creation is unique. Raphia embodies this history and tradition in a contemporary context.
