MATERIAL EFFICIENCY
the easy chair and coffee table are designed in a simplistic way, using slim and short components to be able to exclusively use wood cut-offs.
we further created the solid ‘block’ elements of the easy chair’s seating and the coffee table’s legs by weaving closed rattan surfaces to minimize the material use.
CONTINUE JENGKI STYLE
the DEPROK design language is inspired by the mid- century JENGKI style, that embraced new creative freedoms and influences from the US after indonesia’s independence.
the easy chair and coffee table continue the era’s distinctive line of veranda furniture, with its enlarged geometreical shapes, radii and woven rattan surfaces.
INVOLVE COMMUNITY
for the cushions we use manually woven ‘tenun lurik’. ‘tenun’ (javanese for ‘weave’ or ‘intertwined’) is a long- grown weaving technique that uses wooden looms. specific for jogja is the ‘lurik’ fabric, whose signature feature are repeated lines in variating thicknesses and colors.
‘kapok’ is a natural cotton-like fluff obtained from seed pods of the ‘ceiba’ tree. it is traditionally used in java for mattress and pillow fillings as a natural alterative to synthetic foams or poultry feathers.
FLAT PACKING
the main feature of the easy chair is a special locking mechanism that allows the backrest to appear just ‘tucked’ into the base frame.
the detachability of the easy chair’s backrest as well as the coffee table’s legs enable a flat packing and less shipping volume of the items.
