Care instructions
Wipe clean with a damp cloth (do not use scratchy materials like a steel scourer) and gentle soap. You can also hose them down with water. To protect the colours, avoid
exposing the product to direct sunlight over long periods and store indoors during winter. Fitted cover sold separately. If the product is exposed to sea air, wipe the frame regularly
with a damp cloth.
Each Table is made in Santa Marta, a city on the Caribbean coast
of Colombia, by local craftspeople. They weave the PVC strings,
which are made from recycled plastic, around a powder coated
tubular steel frame.
The weaving technique the artesanos and artesanas use is called
Momposino, a traditional method known for intricate patterns. Just
the preparation of all the materials takes ten days, while the
production of each table takes two days.
