The CORRIDOR rattan coffee table, designed by Guillaume Delvigne for the Orchid Edition collection, incorporates several traditional rattan-crafting techniques:
- a frame made from large-diameter rattan canes, sourced from vines that can grow to over 100 metres in length in the wild.
- a rattan marquetry top, a style typical of the 1950s, brought up to date here.
- a magazine basket woven in the style of basketry. The rectangular shape of the basket, set within the rounded form of the table, evokes the perspective of a corridor...
"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.
I love to move furniture around, I particularly like coffee tables to move around the living room. Together as nesting tables or combined with other materials, CORRIDOR coffee tables are light, practical and playful." Tina Ledi
