The Material
Our products use taut, clean, and highly tenacious rope made of 100%
polyester. What makes this material special is because the characteristic of
polyester that is extremely strong, very durable: resistant to most chemicals,
stretching and shrinking, wrinkle resistant, mildew, and abrasion-resistant. It is
hydrophobic in nature and quick drying. Polyester retains its shape and hence is
good for making outdoor furniture for harsh climates. Polyester has the lowest
stretch and best abrasion resistance, combined with excellent UV resistance.
Easily washed and dried, polyester can be dry-cleaned with no hassles. It is
suggested to use warm water and add fabric soap to the final rinse cycle. We are
an exclusive distributor for this kind of rope in the world, and we have signed an
agreement with the factory. We import the yarn from Italy and dye in Indonesia.
This unique alternative material was discovered for use in furniture by Walter
Sartore and his technical team over two years of research and experimentation,
applying a fusion of technical knowledge, curiosity, and imagination to the
primary substance (wood, metal, and fabric) of the home furnishing industry.
The rope itself is certified by Texted AG, a Swiss textile-testing institute. The high
tenacity, low shrinkage filament yarn meets all established ecological standards.
Each design is thoroughly tested, proven, and guaranteed.
The Design
The design of DAB combines rope with a selection of materials for the furniture
frames, including iron, teak, aluminum, and stainless steel. Customers can choose
what color to use for the rope from a wide variety of solid Pantone. The dyed
rope can then be fixed onto the furniture frames that suit their taste, resulting in
a brightly colored variety of elegant styles and designs. This combination of
materials makes DAB Furniture unique and different, overcoming traditional
barriers between interior and exterior spaces, creating innovative,
contemporary, and timeless design.
We guarantee the color of each piece used in an indoor setting for its lifetime.
When used outdoors, the furniture lasts longer with a canopy or window
protection. Under the full effects of the weather, outdoor use works best with
red, orange, green fluorescent, and yellow fluorescent colors. This furniture
stands up extremely well to sun and rain—good to know, given the extremes of
the tropical climate, and colors persist quite well over the years. There are other
brands on the market nowadays that propose products made of rope, but if any
of these companies suggest that their products will remain unaltered after
continued exposure to sunlight, rain, and the marine environment, they are
simply not telling you the truth.
For DAB Furniture, the premium is on honesty, quality, and reliability. The
company is devoted to presenting you with the best product possible. With many
of its excellent quality of outdoor and indoor furniture having been used at
luxurious and high-end locations, K2 has successfully won the IFFINA 2013
award for Best Innovative Project and IFFS Singapore for Best Exhibit in
2014, as well as IFEX Best Design award in 2014.
