Because each garden has its own personality, the OΔK Gallery presents this Summer a collection of furniture where each piece is unique.

Umberto Pasti is a writer, botanist and landscaper. When he discovered two decades ago the village of Rohuna , perched on its rocky hill above the ocean south of Tangier, he immediately fell under its spell. So enamored that he decided to create a garden in the heart of a desert landscape by planting the seeds of endangered species in Morocco. For this fundamentally vernacular garden, Umberto Pasti wanted to promote and sustainably develop all local resources. Working with young cabinetmakers from the village, Umberto created his own outdoor furniture based on roots and branches of arbutus trees gleaned and dried under the Atlantic sun. An essence among the hardest and rot-proof that its craftsmen assemble meticulously before dressing them in bright hues. This collection of furniture-sculptures opens today on new landscapes for lovers of extra-ordinary gardens!

Garden furniture in roots and branches of lacquered arbutus tree, designed by Umberto Pasti and entirely made in Morocco. Armchairs, benches, tables and storage available to order in different sizes and colours.
