Materials
GUBI says Bistra is made from all-natural rattan harvested in Indonesia, and that a transparent, water-based semigloss lacquer protects the material, reduces maintenance and extends its life. The cushions are removable so that they can be replaced or repaired.
Specifications
The drawings mark 68.7 cm wide, 64.8 cm deep and 78.3 cm high (27.1 x 25.5 x 30.8 in). The table lists a net weight of 10 kg (22.1 lb).
Story
Rattan as a working material
The page describes rattan as one of the world's fastest-growing natural materials that combines flexibility with structural strength. GUBI adds that its durability and light weight suit sinuous, rounded and visually expressive forms.
Care built into the design
GUBI points to the lacquer that lessens maintenance and to the removable cushions as the features that keep the lounge chair easy to look after.
