The Cartagenas side table makes a perfect companion to any lounge area. Designed by Sebastian Herkner, the piece features rounded corners and a frame that gently tapers towards the base. Their curved aesthetic corresponds perfectly with the lounge and cocoon chairs of the series, while these tables will also liven up any seating area with exciting colours. This collection is an ode to Cartagena, the lively coastal metropolis on Colombia's Caribbean coast. It has long been an energetic melting-pot, where Colombia’s diverse ethnic communities live side-by-side, creating a city landscape where various cultural backgrounds merge with each other. When walking through its streets and alleyways, new colours, patterns, and perspectives await behind every corner – just like these pieces reveal a new side from every angle. The designs come with table tops made from either marble or metal – both materials create a calming contrast to the radiant colours. The metal version can also be used outdoors
Like the rest of the Cartagenas collection – which includes dining chairs, lounge chairs, dining tables and a cocoon chair – the tables' webbing is hand-woven in ames ateliers in Bogota, Colombia’s capital. The skilled craftspeople work with coloured strings made from recycled PVC and tie them artfully around a steel frame. It takes them up to 28 days to complete one table
German designer Sebastian Herkner is a long-term collaborator of ames and has visited Colombia multiple times to experience the country’s cities, nature and people first hand. He also visited many of the ateliers that ames has partnered with to learn about the unique traditional crafts of Colombia’s regions. A sought-after contemporary designer and recipient of many industry awards, he has worked with many international design brands, creating intriguing pieces that showcase his intuition for interesting material, colour and texture combinations
