The Gaira lounge chair features a distinctive three-legged wooden base, crafted from sustainably
sourced wood, perfect for outdoor use. The seat is hand-woven using a traditional Momposino
weaving technique, slightly modified into a 4-4 fiber pattern with two colors, highlighting its
unique character. This intricate weaving method, deeply rooted in the Colombian Caribbean
tradition, adds a touch of cultural heritage to the design.
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
