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.

"Balà"
Les aiguilles de porc-épic (balà en langue bambara) noires et blanches proviennent du Mali où elles sont utilisées pour réaliser les tresses africaines.
Elles soulignent la partie basse de l'assise ainsi que le contour arrière du dossier.
Les tissus utilisés sont des couvertures marocaines en laine tissées à la main.
Les pieds du fauteuil ivoire sont cerclés de lacet de cuir or et de graines d'açaï turquoise.
Cette collection est réalisée à partir de fauteuils chinés à Paris et entièrement restaurés manuellement dans la pure tradition française de la garniture en siège : il s'agit ici d'une garniture piquée pour l'assise et d'une garniture pelote pour le dossier. Sangle, toile forte et d’embourrure, crin végétal et animal, ressort en acier, ouate de coton et semences composent l’ouvrage.
