Brown sofa ANTONIN

wickerwickerwicker base

The Antonin sofa is the archetypal wicker sofa: a large diameter willow structure, a seat made of willow nets, and a typical "openwork" weaving of the back. The economy of material (100% willow + a few nails) and the record lightness of this seat (5 kg, it can be moved with one hand...), are allowed by the natural robustness of willow. The Antonin sofa is ideal for relaxing, chatting over a drink, reading or watching TV, with the backrest sloping backwards to allow a relaxed position. The seat height of 42 cm is high enough to allow seniors to sit and stand without difficulty, and it allows two people to sit comfortably. Matches the Colette and Mélina willow tables. Willow, rattan, what's the difference? Rattan is a tropical plant (85% comes from Indonesia) related to the palm family that produces a "cane" that is easy to bend (with steam). Rattan allows for tighter curves and finer weaves than willow, but being less rigid, it requires a heavier frame. Wllow grows easily throughout Europe. It does not require any plant protection products or fertilisers. The harvest is completely regenerated each year, so it is a very easily renewable resource. Peeled hot ("buff" willow with natural copper tones) or cold ("white" willow), it is most often presented untreated, the willow fibre leaving its smooth and satiny surface to appear "au naturel".
