Hos Deckchair & stool set
“I challenged myself to express natural phenomena and elements through the patterns of rugs. I am very interested in the idea that rain, ground, or mist can be reduced to a geometric pattern. This is something I always challenge myself with in architecture as well. I believe it is possible to transmit these natural, vague, and ambiguous phenomena through a certain type of pattern.”
Kengo Kuma
Designed by Kengo Kuma for GANDIABLASCO Edition, the collection featuring the HOS deckchair and stool is based on Japanese tradition. Its structure, made of Iroko wood, revives traditional Japanese architecture and carpentry through the interlocking of carved pieces, without external elements such as nails or screws.
Its creative purpose seeks to represent the connection between humans and nature through design. Specifically, it focuses on natural atmospheric phenomena—rain and mist—through the fabric made with 100% recycled PET. This is achieved using the manual loom technique and is available in three combinations: Shito-Shito, Sara-Sara and Moya-Moya.
The result is a set of pieces that transcends functionality to become a work of art and craftsmanship. The HOS deckchair and stool are an exclusive design by Kengo Kuma for GANDIABLASCO, and their singularity is guaranteed: they are a limited edition with a total production of only 300 units.
