Patta and Helinox have unveiled their new collaboration, blending cultural heritage and modern design in the new Helinox Chair One. Known for crafting premium, affordable furniture since 2009, Helinox designs pieces that make you feel at home anywhere, from backpacking in the woods to lounging on the beach. This new collaboration, which includes an accompanying storage bag, draws inspiration from the Surinamese Pangi cloth, a garment deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the Maroon communities.
The Pangi: A Symbol of Freedom in Suriname Culture
The Pangi, also known as “Kosu,” has evolved from a symbol of inferiority to one of freedom and pride. Historically associated with free-spirited Africans who established communities in Suriname’s interior in the 1760s, the Pangi’s journey reflects the resilience and strength of these communities.
