A TRIBUTE TO TRADITION
The main feature of the collection, comprising a dining room chair and armchair, is the woven rope, which is intended as a homage to craftsmanship. “It is a way for POINT to reconnect with its roots, with its tradition”, says Christophe Pillet. “This is an almost indefinite, classic, universal object, which we redesigned very slightly to give it a new touch of modernity”. Summer is a new take on the traditional chair: universal, simple, functional and timeless, but now given a touch of refinement, technical precision and sensuality. “The decorative effect is produced here by the texture of the weave. It therefore has something very elaborate (handmade), with a very strong, very simple design,” explains the designer. It is made from aluminium combined with rope and is available in different colors.
