Cestlavie maintains the theme of weaving and basketry but transforms its materials to become Cestlavie Outdoor. Available in two sizes, it is an informal and versatile accessory that can serve as either a low table, small container or even an ice chest. Cestlavie Outdoor is made with woven ropes and materials specifically designed for outdoor environments, ensuring optimal weatherproofing.

It has a powder-coated aluminum frame. The basket-containers can be enriched with two optionals: a lid on which to place objects and an ice chest to store and keep bottles cool. The lid is made of powder-coated aluminum and the tab in Pelle Frau® Outdoor leather to match the frame. The ice chest version is made of embossed thermoformed ABS. The weave is in rope, available in finishes matching the frame.

Concept and Design

GamFratesi took their inspiration from the traditional sewing basket when designing the modern and highly elegant Cestlavie accessories. The textural sensations of the saddle-leather and the lightness of the metal design come together in an evocative and stylish visual synthesis. Intricate processing showcases the leather culture and top-quality craftsmanship with which Poltrona Frau has always been associated. Skilfully handwoven straps of Cuoio Saddle Extra leather give form to the casing, one by one. Supported by a tubular aluminium structure, the Cestlavie storage basket appears to be suspended on slender, almost graphic, steel legs. The depth of the saddle-leather and the clean metal create interesting light effects.

Stine Gam, Danish architect with a master in furniture design. Enrico Fratesi Italian architect graduated with a master in industrial design. Gam and Fratesi gained experience as architects in architecture studio in Japan and Scandinavia before establishing their own design studio. The studio is based in Copenhagen. GamFratesi’s design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal and in an experimental approach to their chosen materials and techniques. With their dual traditional background, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach.

Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it. From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom.
