Inspired by the headdresses worn by indigenous peoples, this armchair is a true work of art that blends elements of ancestry with an eccentric and sophisticated design. The "Headdress" armchair is constructed with a high-quality aluminum tubular profile, offering durability and resistance for outdoor use.



The structure is finished with a special paint, ensuring a sophisticated finish that is resistant to environmental conditions. The backrest is covered in a hexagonal straw weave, providing a touch of authenticity and a reference to indigenous headdresses. Just like the shape of the backrest that embraces the user, providing comfort while sitting.



The design incorporates organic and curved forms, inspired by traditional headdresses, and blends different textures and materials to create a truly distinctive appearance.



The "Cocar" Armchair is more than an outdoor furniture piece; it is an artistic representation that values indigenous culture and provides a prominent place to enjoy the outdoor environment with comfort and style.
