ORCHID EDITION - HUBLOT rattan armchair

Designed by Guillaume Delvigne for Orchid Edition and Kok Maison, the Hublot rattan armchair revives the graphic codes of rattan cane seats as we knew them in the 70s and 80s: arcades, bindings, thick cane poles, sophisticated cushions. With "Hublot" however, there is very little left from the exotic taste of that period : no more vibrant colors and colorful fabrics. Armchairs do not belong any more to full "suit" with matching sofas for conservatory furbishing. Hublot is only available in a matt varnished natural rattan, and is upholstered with contemporary fabrics. Unique light and comfortable, Hublot is an occasional armchair at ease anywhere in the house. Its pure and soft line will soften the sometimes austere ambiances of our contemporary interiors.

"Guillaume Delvigne's work immediately appealed to us because we felt a desire to build furniture out of rattan and nothing but rattan. Guillaume used all the by-products made from rattan cane: braided rattan core like the baskets, marquetry for flat surfaces reminiscent of floor mats, etc. The in-depth study of traditional designs allowed him to create solid structures with innovative shapes from the start. The HUBLOT armchair is in the pure tradition of rattan furniture. The cane structure is thick but not too thick, with juxtaposed reinforcements that are a little thinner, ties or bindings that are pleasant to the touch, and a very simple cane decoration that gives it a comfortable feel. But there's a little spirit or ‘je ne sais quoi’ - Guillaume's signature, no doubt - that makes it very contemporary. Lightweight and space-saving, it's the perfect occasional chair." Tina Ledi
