With its round, enveloping shell, Armadillo is a revision of a furniture classic in rattan: the papasan. But this is a radically free and wonderfully postmodern version. Armadillo has the sympathetic shyness of the animal from which it gets its name and the unmistakable signature of the Valencian studio in its silhouette.
Tryp is a side table. In spite of being conceived as a discreet accessory, it hardly goes unnoticed because its sophisticated aesthetic and metallic finish make it shine with unique elegance. Its legs are made of thin steel converging in a subtly perforated round top. It looks lightweight and it is indeed.
This project is born from the wish to recover rattan as a fine material and reclaim Spain?s rich craftsmanship tradition. Oscar Tusquets tries to give a new look to an ancient technique replacing the brackets and bonds traditionally used as connecting elements by the twinning of one cane to the next.

The Huma upholstered chair series takes the form of the rattan version, the open arms create an open invitation to sit, dine, work or relax.
Reposo (rest), in physics, refers to an object being stationary. Everything around is subject to mutation except for it. With its undulant silhouette evoking sand dunes and its butterfly-like backrest, Reposo stares at the changing world without ever getting troubled. This unique self-awareness is part of its grandeur and yet its embrace feels as warm […]

Kiri is a set of round accent tables combining rattan with solid wood and lacquer in an aesthetically fluent dialogue.
