RAMBUT
DESIGNER: PIERRE CHARRIÉ
Named after the Indonesian word for “hair,” the Rambut stools celebrate texture, character, and duality. This vibrant duo contrasts black ijuk fiber, reminiscent of Balinese thatched roofs, with sisal gebang fiber, echoing the vibrant dance and theater costumes of Balinese Mythical creatures. With their expressive silhouettes, the stools embody the Rwa Bhineda philosophy—balance between opposites and symbolized by poleng. Hand-tied by artisan Jero Puspa, groomed, and styled by CushCush selected artisans, these stools are a delightful blend of playfulness and practicality.
Features
- Visual contrast in natural fibers with the duo, each characterized by its unique natural fibers
- Rope-tied bamboo base for its structure for stability and strength
- Each piece uniquely hand-crafted, comes in either a piece, or as a pair.

About the Designer
Pierre Charrié
A graduate from Fine Arts and from the École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI-Les Ateliers), Pierre Charrié is fascinated by the sensory dimension of everyday objects and explores how materials, sounds or gestures can create new interactions and transcend the ordinary. His research and experimentations with the sound quality of objects have earned him recognition, with some of his work included in the permanent collection of the National Center of Plastic Arts (CNAP).
A polyvalent designer, he works with a wide range of natural materials, including wood and ceramic, as well as more rarely used feathers or mother-of-pearl, which he marries with both innovative and ancestral techniques used by artisans he encounters. His unique sensory approach to design and his refined creations have established him as one of the most promising award- winning French designers.
