The Simone Stool is a handcrafted stool available in a range of heights, made from rattan and produced by Sika-Design, a brand with a history of innovation in rattan furniture making since the 1950s.
The Simone Stool's rattan weaving makes for an aesthetic which is both natural and elegant. The colour options include a primary and secondary colour dotted pattern, which are visually appealing without offending the harmony of the rest of the room. Owing to its range of heights, the stool is particularly versatile in how you wish to use it. They can be set up as barstools or easily fitted in the living room as an extra seat.
Sika-Design, despite being Danish, produces in Indonesia, a country where artisanship in wickerwork has been practiced and respected for centuries. Close attention is paid to all stages of the production process in making rattan furniture. The rattan itself, harvested nearby, is specially selected to provide durability and longevity for the finished product. The Simone Stool is then handcrafted by local artisan workers, through steaming and shaping the rattan by using simple tools and original techniques.
Rattan is among the most sustainable materials used in making furniture. It regenerates in around 5-7 years and produces 35% more oxygen than a tree, absorbing CO2 in the process. Sika-Design, in working closely with local rattan harvesters and artisans to produce quality furniture, is able to support forest-dependent communities and uphold our collective environmental responsibility.
