Featuring gentle curves and earthy colours, the round Circo Dining Table adds a touch of colourful elegance to indoor and outdoor spaces. A design by Sebastian Herkner, the table is an ode to Colombia’s vibrancy and passion for colours. The piece combines a metal table top with a powder-coated steel frame that is decorated with fine leather strings natural material gives it a more subtle touch.

In Colombia, there’s a long tradition of using the wicker to craft baskets for the arrieros, the coffee pickers, who use them to collect the beans on the plantations in the country’s hinterlands.

“For Caribe, we’ve now chosen a natural wicker that has a long tradition in Colombian craftsmanship to create a chair that’s clearly made for indoor spaces”, says Sebastian Herkner.

“The wicker lends the design a natural look and makes it very comfortable to sit in.

The craftspeople in the ames ateliers use an especially intricate weaving technique for the Caribe Natural pieces.

The result is a particularly dense structure that serves as table top.

The wicker is made from the branches of the Bejuco, a vine-like plant that grows in the coffee regions of Colombia, and it is traditionally used to make baskets for collecting coffee beans.

The plant’s liana-like branches are dried in the sun and prepped for ten days to separate the bark from the inner fibres.

These are then woven by hand around the steel frame in a process that takes five days.
