In the age of sustainability, natural materials are preferred in construction and furniture field. In particular, AFRICA STYLE natural Cape Reed and Makuti stand out for their beauty, durability and low environmental impact, offering a superior quality coming from an accurate selection and processing of raw materials. The South African Cape Reed is flexible but resistant (contrary to the common straw with which it is often confused), ideal for gazebos, pergolas and roofs. AFRICA STYLE natural materials are very thick and solid, thus more resistant compared to other species. The Kenyan Makuti is made of dried, large and thick coconut palm leaves which are interwoven with traditional techniques that increase the strength. It is typical of the African coasts yet perfect to create fresh and exotic coverings.
