Guna Charpoy

Guna is a Sanskrit term meaning “energy that envelops all things”, from the Indo-European root gere, “envelopment”, used to denote a single string used to make a woven rope. A name that conveys the profound meaning of the collection: a weave of yarns, stitches and textures, as well as inspirations, relationships and cultures.

A traditional Indian bed that is low and spacious, the charpoy is reinterpreted by Chiara Andreatti through the use of nautical ropes in natural, red and blue, woven by hand to the structure in Iroko wood treated for outdoor use, characterised by the particular flared design of the legs, on which the seat cushions rest. Available in two sizes 195x95cm and 120x100cm.
