The bundle has an impressive presence thanks to its volume, texture and natural sandy tones.

The ropes are tightly bound with crossing cords, creating a graphic pattern. The construction shows beautiful irregularities, loose fibres and colour variations that give the piece a pure, honest look – ideal for anyone who loves wabi-sabi and natural materials.

Originally, heavy rope coils like this were used in agricultural or transport contexts, but today they work perfectly as strong decorative elements. Thanks to its monumental, tactile character, this bundle is beautiful as a floor sculpture, next to a low cabinet, beside a plant, or as a contrasting accent in a clean, modern interior. It also makes a powerful styling object in a shop or gallery setting, instantly adding atmosphere.

A unique piece that brings together calm, nature and texture in a single form. See less
