With aesthetic coherence and material identity, the KORO outdoor lamps preserve the essence and design vision of the collection created by Eli Gutiérrez for SKLD Studio. They are distinguished by their totemic forms, defined by rounded volumes and essential curves, and by their original handcrafted weave — the result of a combination of knotted ropes and horizontally woven straps that bring movement to each piece. A graphic and bold skin, capable of delicately enveloping every structure. The exploration of new weaving techniques, developed together with the company's in-house team, has led to a unique solution in which artisanal knowledge and material research become the very core of the project. With a design of strong visual impact and rich character, each piece is one of a kind — handmade — and specifically conceived to withstand outdoor conditions.
