Franco Albini Small Rattan Ottoman

Features

• The Icons collection features timeless lines and sculptural artistry inspired by an elite group of legendary architects and designers. Arne Jacobsen, Nanna and Jorgen Ditzel, Viggo Boesen, and Franco Albini were all pioneers of their time. They broke new ground when they made experimental shapes with rattan and wicker and created sculptural and timeless icons. With great respect and admiration for the original designs and in close collaboration with the descendants of these renowned furniture makers, we are pleased and proud to be able to bring these icons back.
• The Exterior collection marries the high-style rattan frame designs of our Originals and Icons collections with our Alu-Rattan™ and ArtFibre™ materials for ultra-durable pieces designed to withstand the elements. Every model in this collection is contract-grade and completely maintenance-free. The Exterior collection can be left outdoors year-round while preserving the same comfort and flexibility of natural rattan.
• Each piece is handmade using the finest Malacca cane rattan.
