Arena

Organic in essence. An ode to traditional manual bending techniques

“One of the key roles of this collection is to establish a dialogue between the built environment and nature”
Søren Rose

ARENA is the first collection of purely organic shapes by Søren Rose for GANDIABLASCO. This outdoor furniture collection is inspired by the fluid movements of sand dunes, gracefully embodying delicate yet powerful curves. Each piece in the ARENA series features rounded elements and undulating cut lines designed for outdoor spaces, though its aesthetics and functionality make it equally suited for interiors.

Inspired by the beauty of nature’s organic forms, as well as architectural elements with sinuous lines and discernible layers, ARENA aims to be a harmonious fusion of artifice and nature, blending seamlessly into its surrounding landscapes. On one hand, its elements and typologies evoke a connection to traditional wicker furniture and even basketweaving craftsmanship, thanks to its voluminous rounded shapes and finished edges. On the other, its wide curved slats recall the veneered woodwork characteristic of Scandinavian design.
