RHIMPEE COLLECTION

Introducing the Rhimpee Collection, inspired by the rich history of Riempie furniture originating in South Africa. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each piece in this collection embodies the traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage of Riempie chairs used by early settlers in the 19th century.

Utilising the technique of riempies, which involves interlacing strips of rawhide or worked leather hide, the Rhimpee Collection offers lightweight and durable furniture solutions for modern living spaces. Originally created as a practical solution to the challenges posed by the harsh South African climate, riempie weaving provided a strong and flexible seating surface that withstood extreme conditions.

The Rhimpee Collection pays homage to this heritage while incorporating contemporary design elements to suit today's interiors. From accent chairs to dining chairs benches, each piece in this collection exudes timeless elegance and showcases the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.

Experience the enduring natural beauty and durability of Riempie-inspired furniture with our Rhimpee Collection, where heritage meets modern design.

Timber naturally reacts to sunlight, moisture, and humidity, which may cause fading, warping, or cracks. Keep in stable, ventilated spaces and use coasters or pads to protect from spills and heat.

Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, drying thoroughly to prevent water absorption.

Avoid harsh cleaners, soaking, dragging furniture, and reapply oil, wax, or sealant periodically to maintain protection.
