The Spanish company Expormim has carved, quite literally, its own niche in the designer furniture market.
Although they make indoor and outdoor furniture, there is no difference between the two sets in terms of quality or design–in fact, their patio sofas and tables would fit right in with the decor inside any chic, glass-walled modernist home.
In addition to their offerings in and outside the home, they have a line called “Rattan,” which has playful pieces that combine traditional rattan material with contemporary but timeless style, and all with an eco-friendly and sustainable edge that keeps Expormim more interesting than its competitors.
The Nautica is a hanging chair from the Rattan collection that evokes the playful designs from the 60’s, and few will be able to resist the temptation to climb into its suspended, half-egg cradle seat.
The sleek rattan frame is a far cry from the stereotypical scratchy rattan that has given this style of furniture a bad name. Rather, the light rattan chair undulates in waves to provide the sitter with an airy but strong support.
Whether suspended from the living room ceiling, or from the branch of a tree in one’s backyard, Expormim’s Nautica chair promises to provide the seat of many great memories to come.
