Story
Base and cushion
Baobab combines a woven support with a distinct cushion treatment. The official description names painted steel, handwoven coloured polyethylene and a polyurethane-foam cushion covered in African fabric. Marc Thorpe is the credited designer, with 2016 shown on the product page. The cushion is the page’s only upholstered detail, while the base remains the woven Baobab structure.
