The adorable Cana Stool, designed by Pauline Deltour, adds a fun pop of colour to any room. It’s round seat is braided by hand from caña flecha, a natural material which is obtained from the eponymous palm
It takes many steps of manual labour to extract the fibres from the caña flecha palm leaves before they are coloured with natural dyes. Then the artisans use the fibres to braid the seat by hand. The frame of the stool is made of powder coated steel. Just the preparation of all the materials takes three days, while the production of each stool takes four days
Born in France, Pauline Deltour’s aesthetic is defined by being strikingly simple and beautifully detailed at once. Her designs showcase a curiosity in the qualities of the raw materials and transferring production techniques between disciplines. Pauline Deltour joined ames founder Ana Maria Calderón Kayser on a trip to Colombia to study the local materials first hand and learn from the artisans about the traditional weaving techniques. Back in her Paris studio, where she develops furniture and product designs for international brands, Deltour designed a range of furniture and living accessories for ames
