For the third consecutive year, Incalmi collaborates with a design studio to create a collection capable of synthesizing the culture and know-how of its network of artisans. 2024 is the year of Federica Biasi and natural fiber weaves.

Koya, designed by Federica Biasi with Incalmi, is the synthesis of extensive research on natural fibers and weaves that the designer and the company have been carrying out in parallel for some years. Born from experimentation on Rattan and on its multiple processes, the Koya coffee table is characterized by the union of different weaves, from the oriental to the local ones inherited from the ancient Venetian school of the Barbisano bakeries.

Among the various projects presented by the designer, Incalmi selected the most complex, with the idea of challenging the material, rattan, a type of climbing palm that is very common in Southeast Asia. The intertwining characterizes the entire surface of the object and remains visible even under the cathedral glass top, a type of glass with ancient origins and a material aspect. The result is a multi-material object in rattan and glass, a coffee table but also a sculpture, which preserves roundness and lightness, combining contemporary taste with traditional stylistic features of different cultures. The name is in fact inspired by Mount Koya, in Japan, where artisans work precious rattan objects.
