Giro
Giro,
by Vincent Van Duysen
The initial and core idea and research behind this
collection was about the rope, using it in a different
way by sewing them together in order to create the
shape of the product itself. A big source of inspiration
has been the Orkney Chair. As a great example of
vernacular product design, this classic has inspired me
to draw inspiration from the past with an eye to today’s
and Kettal’s technology expertise. Whereas in the
Orkney the rope was made of real ropes, Giro hinges
on the flexibility of recycled polypropilente rope and
on the necessity to produce such a collection
industrially. There is a respect for the tradition and
craftsmanship but translated to an actual modern
up to date version taking all the profit of the actual
technology and know-how of Kettal. Based on a natural
material to a very sustainable material that can face
all kind of weather.
