The new SAGA line of Roche Bobois furniture using certified tree slices
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himIt is well known for all lovers of design how much Roche Bobois furnishings represent a comfortable, reassuring style able to escape from avant-garde design and offer a more serene and familiar view of the furniture.
The latest range born in the house of the French company would therefore not seem to deviate at all from its company policy. We are talking about Saga an eco-sustainable production that with an elegant and minimal cut manages to render - as the leader says Christophe delcourt - “the furniture as if it were alive”.
Able to celebrate wood with the use of oak tree slices of at least two hundred years old, (an identifying feature of the collection) which are relevant exceptions in a white lacquered structure. Saga includes a buffet, for an table, for an table it's a console and pays homage to nature's ability to "capture time".
This project is particularly interesting because it was conceived dominating the wood of the tree trunk perfectly to its cut; all balanced by the refinement of the lacquer. It is as if you wanted to pay homage to biological life respecting the multiple circles that nature wanted to draw inside the trunks and not alternating the geometric symmetry in the least.
In addition, Saga's manufacturing process guarantees a environmental impact remarkably below average. In fact, it decreased by over 30% compared to competing furniture analogues. The wood comes from certified forests and all the painted parts are of natural origin. Finally, Roche Bobois has another great innovation within its company policy: to entrust from time to time the realization of his projects to locally selected craftsmen, depending on the area of diffusion. Not having, therefore, a factory of its own saves considerably on all types of expenses related to transportation and encouraging local crafts.
