The Story
- Riempie [rempe] refers to a lace or leather strap, often used to craft traditional chair seats.
- It’s a strip of leather, similar to webbing, that’s applied when wet, then dried and tightened to create a durable leather seat.
- This design draws on this rich heritage, blending the strength and tactile nature of leather with the sleekness of metal and wood to infuse a contemporary feel.
- This fusion of history and modern design creates a global, cross-cultural piece that functions as a cocktail table.
- Through this design, we honor not just heritage, but the lineage that has shaped it over time.
- From Africa to Europe, particularly Holland, where the original style emerged, this piece brings with it a rich history, transformed into a contemporary form that embraces multiple cultures and traditions.
