Front row seat to the summer solstice

Spring comes to an end. The sunset of the next 20th of June will put an end to the longest day of the year and give free way to the shortest night. As a goodbye to the season that represents the ultimate expression of life, Diabla takes us to Stonehenge, which every year, on the occasion of the summer solstice, turns into a magical place. Located in the county of Wiltshire, England, this megalithic monument is famous for how the sun is positioned on the axis of construction in the winter and summer solstices, sneaking between its stones and generating a stunning scenery.

While resting in the COSTURAS poufs, we contemplate in marvel this mystery of humanity, wondering how it was possible 5,000 years ago to take and place with such precision these voluminous stones. This mystical and festive atmosphere unleashes our playful spirit and it invites us to a game using the COSTURAS poufs, with which we have fun imitating the menhirs shapes.

COSTURAS is the result of the merging of the creative and casual style of Diabla and the enthusiastic Italian architect Teresa Sapey. This first collaboration takes the shape of a multipurpose pouf and unites, under the same concept, two essential geometric shapes, the square and the circle, in a piece of furniture as iconic, elegant and unpretentious as a baseball.

Did you know that this object is more handmade than it looks? 108 is the number of drillings that feature the baseball balls of the major American leagues. 216 is the number of stitches that tighten with red nylon the skin patches. COSTURAS, the comfortable #design of Sapey for Diabla, may need some more in its decoration and preparation, but it manages to transmit in the same way the aesthetic and the strength to enhance a feature that lies usually hidden.

With a firm foam base of five centimeters and filled with polystyrene beads, the new pouf is covered with a removable cover that closes with a zipper made of waterproof fabric -perfect for the outdoors- and it is available in the most attractive shades of the Diabla color chart. The decorative seams highlight at a glance this casual element that imprints character.

“We were inspired by the baseball as an iconic, elegant and relaxed element.”

“Without losing the simplicity and the versatility of the product, we decided to reinvent the essential elements and to give space to hidden details such as the seams.”
