Natural rattan that has been peeled and tinted is used to form the armchair's frame. The rattan is finished with three coatings: a dye, a base coat and a top coat. This finish includes a UV filter, making the material resistant to sun damage.
"Rattan is a humble material, but extremely rich in shades," said Expormim. "It is fine, durable and strongly associated with the Mediterranean." The seat and backrest are made from tinted natural wicker. Optional cushions with upholstery in natural or faux leather, virgin wool fabrics, velvet and polypropylene, complete the look.
