Gregoria features the baluster, a key decorative element in traditional Filipino home designs. Gregoria is a semi-circular 2 to 3 seater lounge. Its backrest is made of kiln dried Gmelina balusters in natural finish, and its seat made of split rattan solihiya(weave) in a sunburst pattern. Its backrest balusters are set in different heights so as to highlight the overall textured quality of the piece. The balusters themselves are ornately designed and the solihiya handweaved. The play on textures can be seen from the varying visual composition of the balustrade backrest, to the ornate carvings of each baluster and the intricate weaves of the split rattan solihiya seat. All the materials used in the Gregoria lounge have been sourced from sustainable materials and means of production: Gmelina is a fast growing hardwood, and both Gmelina and the rattan are farmed and sourced locally in the Philippines.
