The daybed has been recently presented at the 2019 London Design Week and it is the result of a collaboration between the Mallorcan textile manufacturer Teixits Riera and Nico Guevara studio. Both, residents in Mallorca, focus to unite tradition and craftsmanship in a product with a Mediterranean essence.

From the beginning the idea was to develop a furniture piece that reflected the rural austerity of the island, using natural materials such as wood, fabric and leather.

The simplicity of the structure aims to respect the artisanal value of the fabric. The link between the walnut structure and the upholstery it is a leather belt that joins and gives character to the whole piece. The pillow is fixed thanks to it and generate a subtle balance between the elements.

The Ikat, also known as «Roba de llengües», is the authentic Mallorca fabric, which is manufactured following a millennial technique, and that traveled from east to the Mediterranean through the Silk route and then to the island. Cotton and linen are weave following a procedure of handmade dyeing, which is crucial in order to preserve the peculiarities that make it indistinguishable:

The edges blurred of their motifs, since during the dyeing, the dye extends through the threads under the bond, creating the flame effect. This part of the process being manual, makes each fabric unrepeatable and has the charm of the imperfect.
