The TIGMI range by Jean-Marie Massaud. Hand-woven by DEDON’s master weavers in an open, semi-transparent style, TIGMI’s roof evokes the improvised, thatched palm covering of a palapa or beach hut. As light and shadows play across the interior, users are transported to a holiday state of mind, as if gathered together at the beach bar of a rustic resort. Enclosed on three sides, TIGMI establishes a shared viewpoint that reinforces this communal experience. The sofa structure underlying TIGMI is uncommonly wide and deep. Able to accommodate several adults with ease, it doubles as a daybed, sleeping two in intimate comfort. But TIGMI is at its best when paired with its matching woven roof (optional). A remarkably unified piece of microarchitecture, it offers the sense of being indoors and outdoors at once, recalling the relaxing atmosphere of a shaded bower.
