The Cordelia takes inspiration from that frozen moment when a droplet of water splashes and creates a crown-like form. To achieve this, we turned to raffia, a material usually used flat. By bending and shaping it, we discovered its surprising flexibility and sculptural potential. The real challenge was finishing it—raffia is naturally oily, so traditional finishes won’t hold. But through our process, we mastered a way to make it both elegant and durable. The Cordelia is not just a chair—it’s a statement of how overlooked materials can be elevated into a true conversation piece.
