Altea is a freestanding storage unit designed to be placed even in the centre of the living area and viewed from every side. Finished on all surfaces, it organises the space without creating a rigid visual separation between the different areas of the ambience.

Its principal functional feature is the doors that rotate through 180°. Their movement gradually changes the configuration of the piece and allows the compartments to be used with different openings and orientations, making the storage unit an active part of the interior architecture.

Refined bronze casting handles allow the doors to be opened, transforming a functional component into an elegant, timeless detail with a distinctly sophisticated character.

The entire surface is covered in jute fibre, skilfully worked by hand. The natural texture remains visible, highlighting irregular patterns, subtle colour variations and surface differences that reflect the craftsmanship behind its creation.

Jute, a plant-based textile fibre, gives the volume a tactile presence. Light meets the fibres, enhancing their rhythm and softening the geometric rigour of the structure, balancing the order of the design with the natural imperfections of the material.

In HESSENTIA’s vision, Altea interprets contemporary storage unit as an element that changes with the space. Rotating doors, handcrafted jute fibre and a freestanding configuration create a piece in which function and surface engage naturally.

HESSENTIA can customize this piece to suit your project needs. Some limitations apply.
