A new feature, where we get our fix of sexy design…

Today it’s the ‘Tina armchair’ conceived with a clear intention:

“The ‘Tina’ armchair is the result of our collaboration with the industry. With a design featuring both innovation and tradition, it is built with the painstaking care and attention to detail characteristic of artisanal methods coupled with the precision and quality that comes with technology.”

“It is surprisingly lightweight and sinuous due to the features and comfort of its natural braiding. wickerwork is a marvelous form of art, and an artisanal technique which is the same the world over. One can even say that wickerwork represents the first universal language of humankind: a language of hands. That is why we research about wicker and the weaving of natural materials in our design studio,” says architect Benedetta Tagliabue of Miralles Tagliabue EMBT studio, enlisted by furniture brand Expormin to create a contemporary version of the classic rattan seat.
