two workshops, one ledger

the build

how the figure adds up

An outdoor seat from Cabiate is a stack: a tubular structure under a braid of polypropylene rope, a quick-drying cushion on top, and a foot in iroko or in painted metal. The stack sets the price; the silhouette barely moves it.

Every layer has its grades, and a step up in any one changes the total. That is the work the quote does, and it is why the request form asks where the piece will stand.

signatures

seven hands in the ledger

Most of the catalog is drawn inside the house, under the credit MC Lab. Beside it the factory prints six other names, from Bonura Design on the newest outdoor families to a single chair credited to Studioforma.

Every family page names its designer, and every designer page lists the families that carry the credit. Where the factory publishes nothing further, this site says so rather than filling the gap.
