Oruwa

‘Oruwa‘ is inspired by the traditional fishing canoes used by local fishermen, which have been held together for centuries by coir cross-stitching threaded by a shipwright’s needle rather than iron bolts. Their iconic silhouettes are described in ancient texts by Roman Empire seafarers. The replica wooden catamaran bedhead with rattan sail, which is bound to the mast with authentic coir rope, is the suite’s most eye-catching feature. The timber framework built around the vanity unit, as well as the other pieces of furniture, have been designed, painted, and distressed to look like old boat timbers.
