Indoor/Outdoor Furniture Made from Salvaged Waxed Canvas - Remodelista
We’ve long been followers of husband-and-wife design team Jorge Almada and Anne-Marie Midy of Casamidy, who live between homes in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and Saint Paul de Vence, France. The new line is made from an unexpected rescued material. It was being discontinued because its original purpose was to cover fruit and vegetable trucks... ...and now, they use plastic.” Jorge and Anne-Marie found a new use for the material in their latest Altamura sectional sofa and floormats, both of which can be used in covered outdoor spaces. The Altamura Sectional is made from waxed canvas on a frame made from 1-inch tubular iron (available in a clear lacquer, or a black or white powder-coat finish). Designed for covered exterior spaces, it’s available in a variety of sectional units, including an armchair ($950), side unit, and a right and left corner (each $850); shown here, the right and left corners are paired to form a sofa. The sectional is detailed with leather ties that come in saddle (shown) or brown leather. The back of a side unit displays the trio of leather ties that attach the upholstery to its iron base. The Sonora Mat, another new waxed canvas design, is edged in saddle (shown), brown, or black leather; it’s intended for use as a bath mat alternative or as an area rug. The Grenadier Chair is a wrought-iron folding chair made of saddle leather; a companion stool is also available; $875 each. The chair’s frame comes in raw wrought iron or lacquer-over metal; the leather is available in a blackened plate saddle, black, brown (left), or raw (right).
