A combination of the tactile and the ethereal, Bora alludes to the imposing, climatic winds that buffet and ruffle the Adriatic coast. Simultaneously the name evokes a sense of the remote and the exotic, painting a path to the horizon where oceans and skies meet and continents crumble into archipelagos.

The Bora collection embraces these flights of fancy, pairing them with functional requirements to flow flawlessly into a form to be reckoned with. The rounded expression of circles in the woven backs, create a soft and inviting seating comfort. Inspiring trust and guaranteeing stability, a wide, strong stance is artfully formed from plantation teak in a peerless combination of fine craftsmanship and classic, mid-century, Scandinavian style.

Seating for all occasions is provided by a comprehensive range of Dining Chair, Lounge Chair, Sofa and Ottoman. All are available in two wicker combinations – either the bold and dark Umber or a lighter, warmer Sorrel colour, and incorporate luxurious seat and back cushions designed specifically for outdoor use. Although using manmade fibres, through a clever combination of individual strands of varying colour and the application of a distressed, tactile finish, Bora’s woven element achieves an unquestionably natural simplicity.

Champion of many Gloster designs, Dane Henrik Pedersen offers an insight into the emotional origins of Bora; “In a sense we are combining the spirit and style of contrasting coastal cultures. A little from this sea, a little from that. The lines, strength and integrity of Scandinavian design cannot be missed in Bora’s frame but the intricate use of woven fibres is different. They are inspired by island life of a much more tropical setting. Maybe it was the Bora winds that tumbled these materials together” he smiles.
