The time has come for rest, for the moment, for the long stretch.
Hands move, reach out.
The back curves, the mind stretches.
The seat anchors, shifts, conforms,
Extends.
Made from an antique linen-cotton blend fabric. It was cold-fermented with eucalyptus, then set with black dye in an iron bath. It is then coated with beeswax sourced from beekeeper Cathy Tassy. The padding consists of Manex wool carded by Tokilia Laine and horsehair. Finally, the seat is tufted with buttons covered in the same fabric.
Safre is an artisanal atelier founded by Martin Bady in 2019. As a textile finisher, he designs custom-made clothing as well as interior furnishings. He specializes in ancient, sometimes forgotten techniques, the execution of which requires considerable time. The materials used are traditional and created in the atelier; they are chosen for the richness of their inherent properties. The application of these ancient manual techniques immerses us in an appreciation of the craftsmanship itself, in the recognition of the imperfection necessary to evoke the sensory and the living. They accompany a reflection seeking to reconcile us with the notion of aging, as a participant in the poetry of our daily lives, echoing our unique history that unfolds each day. The humble intention is thus to design textiles that are embodied.
Care: Wipe with a damp cloth and rub gently. The nature of the fabric, due to its coating, causes it to live and age. These patinas will reflect your use of it and your history. One-of-a-kind piece.
