Bleris by harold bonilla from colombia
designer's own words:
“bleris” is a proposal of indoor and outdoor furniture, targeted to hotels and swimming pool areas. this proposal is based on the fact that occurs in my home country during vacations time and especially in warm climates where people use to go to the nearest river for a relaxing day. the tire tubes have always been a key element of these getaways. “bleris” is a proposal of indoor and outdoor furniture, targeted to hotels and swimming pool areas. this proposal is based on the fact that occurs in my home country during vacations time and especially in warm climates where people use to go to the nearest river for a relaxing day. the tire tubes have always been a key element of these getaways.
“bleris” is defined as an element with simple and pleasant design which consists of three parts: the first one is the base or structure developed in the traditional technique, worked with natural Rattan fiber which is completely circular and has a central uplift that serves as support for the other two components; the second part is made by the representative element of this relaxing system, the reuse of a tire tube covered by textile material. finally, the central cushion that defines the comfort at the moment of use and also provides the different colors for every moment. this is also covered by textile material.
thus, “Bleris” is based on simplicity, the basic shapes and with just a few components generates a relaxing system very interesting in its concept.
