About Umma Talatala

O le talatala Umma ua mamanuina e fausia ai se siosiomaga o le matāfaga ma le vasa. O lenei talatala e tele ona aogā e fetaui lelei mo totonu o fale po o fafo o fale, ma ofoina atu se malumalu fiafia mo taimi malōlō. O aluga e ala mai ai se lagona o le faavavau ma le filemu e pei o le matāfaga. O ona pi'o ma laina aunoa ma ni māva e iloga ese ai mai isi mea i lona vaega, ae o ona fua ua mamanuina ma le faaeteete e maua ai le mafanafana. Faatasi ai ma lona mamanu ma le gauai tele i mea laiti, o le Umma Swing o se faamaoniga o le tuutuuga i le aoga ma le matagofie.

Production Technology: Umma Swing is made up only of three materials that permit its indoor outdoor use: aluminium for the frame, a recyclable material, nautical rope and technical fabrics for the upholstery.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was finding a technical solution that met the desired aesthetic standard, ensuring comfort and sustainability, and also allowing the creation of multiple pieces from a few basic elements.
Research: The main objective of the project was to make a visually light and elegant outdoor swing to find the right aesthetic balance. Aluminum combined with upholstery in technical material guarantee the necessary sustainability and robustness characteristics of this sustainable project.
Inspiration: Original and elegant, Umma Swing brings a coastal, nautical vibe to any setting. It is perfect for spending some quality chill out time outdoors or indoors.‎ The large cushions hug and take you to a safe place suspended in time, just like when you are on vacation by the shore.
