Made up of a die-cast aluminium frame with slats in ash wood, the range is crafted from honest materials selected for their ability to withstand the elements and develop a natural patina. In the designer’s own words: “You could leave it anywhere and it will age very nicely - Traverse will enjoy the rain and the sun, and step by step it will start to melt into the space.”

The choice of heat-treated ash results in robust pieces of furniture that become more beautiful over time. “Teak wood and other rainforest woods are excellent for outdoor use, but it is not neccessarily a responsible material choice,” says Rolf Hay, co-founder of HAY. “Believe it or not, this is actually ash wood, which normally has a lighter colour, but by heating it, it turns brown, drawing out weatherproof qualities and allowing the furniture to better withstand the outdoors.”

About the
Seller

Established in 1997, Cult (formerly Corporate Culture) formed to provide not only exceptional designer furniture, but also a high level of customer service, a combination not yet experienced in the Australian marketplace.

In his endeavours since then, company founder and director Richard Munao has built one of the most comprehensive collections of brand partners in Australia and New Zealand. Cult has grown from its first location in Sydney to now include showrooms in Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland as well as distributors in Canberra, Adelaide and Perth.

In addition to founding Cult, and supporting strong international partners like Fritz Hansen, Carl Hansen & Son, &Tradition, HAY and Gubi, Richard is actively involved in discovering and mentoring emerging Australian and New Zealand design talent. As founder of Cult’s Design Journey Competition, which began in 2004, Richard gives designers throughout Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to have their designs prototyped and put into production.
