The value of wood from sustainable forests
“When designing pieces for the outdoors, and to be in nature, you have to try to design respectfully to create objects that coexist with their setting. LADEMADERA is an example ofthis design philosophy.”
Francesco Meda y David Quincoces
LADEMADERA is a collection designed by Francesco Meda and David Quincoces for GANDIABLASCO that applies the beauty of teak wood to outdoor furniture. The collection was born out of the desire to introduce a collection made completely out of wood into the GANDIABLASCO universe, whose aesthetic appeal and feel matched with that of the brand, whose primary material has always been aluminium.
