The colors and shape of the cartagenas dining chair are inspired by sebastian herkner’s visit to colombia’s buzzing coastal city cartagena de indias. “fishing pelicans, women selling fruit, cozy restaurants: cartagena lures you in with its many facets and this collection also plays with perspectives”, describes sebastian the collection. The elegant, curved chair can be used indoors and outdoors and comes either with a seat and back in contrasting colors or a monochrome version. The colored strings, made from recycled pvc, are woven by hand around the steel frame, using two different colors for the seat and back. The colombian craftspeople, based in bogota, use an especially intricate weaving technique to create a neat contrast. It takes them three days to complete one chair.
