beigeWith the collection Akar, which refers to the word “roots” in Indonesian, Atelier Pendhapa pushed the boundaries of what can be made from solid wood today in using the material in its most organic form. The design of the solid wood elements challenges gravity, as it undulates around the fabric. The collection is made in collaboration with Métaphores, the renowned textile manufacturer, sister company of Hermès. Each limited-edition piece features a different horsehair Le Crin fabric, the specialty centenarian technique of hand-woven horsehair developed by Métaphores; this unique savoir-faire is protected under the French heritage accreditation “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant”. The wood frames are reminiscent of pieces of intricate jewellery, while the horsehair fabric cushions appear like mounted gemstones.

Both architects by training, Antonin Hautefort and Ignatio Tenggara met at the Architectural Association in London while completing their master of Architecture. While Antonin grew up in France, Ignatio comes from Indonesia: their radically different cultural background and their fascination for local craftsmanship motivated them to start a design studio together. Atelier Pendhapa was founded in 2019 with the ambition to dissolve the boundaries between furniture and architecture. They have since been developing projects of various scales from bespoke pieces and interior design to holistic architectural projects all around the world.
