  We support products that are created to be gentle on the planet and also made by hand, demonstrating the unique skill of the artisan and support one-of-a-kind pieces, and variance in design due to the process of hand crafting. In a world of homogenized mass production, slower designed, handmade products require less energy than mass-produced items and often last longer, reducing the cycle of waste in our “throw-away” culture.

  The hanging mechanisms are supplied with the chair – in standard lengths, ready for installation. The Sling chair can disassemble and splits in half for flat packing – great in economising packing and freight.

• Reasons why we are using cactus leather?

  Cactus Leather that is made from the Nopal cactus, also known as the prickly pear.

  • it takes approximately three leaves of cactus to create one linear meter of cactus leather
  • cacti absorb carbon dioxide, converting it into plant carbohydrates which ensures building strong plants which, in turn, create pure, clean oxygen for us to breathe
  • only the mature leaves of the plant are cut when harvesting, without damaging the plant itself, enabling repeat harvests every 6-8 months, from the same plant
  • it only takes 200 litres of water to grow one kilogram of cactus biomass, which is absorbed by the plant itself from humidity present in the atmosphere, compared to an average 1,000 litres to grow the same kilogram of other crops
  • cactus is a tough and resilient species, adapted to extreme conditions and able to survive in areas where nothing else will grow
  • cacti can grow in severely degraded soils which are inadequate for other crops
