The Nawabari furniture collection is inspired by the Japanese art form of binding with ropes to forge close bonds. ‘Nawa’ means rope in Japanese, and the term “Nawabari” traditionally translates as stretching rope.
Nawabari comprises two sofa sizes, an armchair, two coffee tables and two pouffe sizes. The collection can be used individually as standout pieces or grouped together to create a standalone area, playing with the various colors and shapes.
“When starting out with this collection we were looking for a new way of expressing furniture. We were interested in the forms that are created when a material is bound with rope. The result is these sculptural organic shapes that form the core of this furniture family.”
The core shape of the furniture family took shape through studying the organic and sculptural shapes created by a sponge tied with a rope.
The furniture is upholstered with Gabriel’s wool-effect Blend fabric in six pre-defined colours that beautifully enhance the sensorial design. The Nawabari collection is Greenguard certified, ensuring that the products have low-emitting chemicals and low impact on indoor air quality.
