Working with Refugees
REFUGE is a social benefit company dedicated to improving the lives of refugees - one beautiful product at a time.
From the factory where the rope is made to the atelier where the pieces are woven, each product is handcrafted by Syrian women refugees.
Making + Dyeing the String
This string factory has over 800 books of custom dyes and a team of scientists creating new colors every day. Here they spin the string, dye it, and wind it into large bobbins that go to the rope factory.
Customizing the Color
At the rope factory, we carefully choose string to create our custom rope colors and weights. The individual bobbins are staged and are blended into a new spool ready to be twisted into rope.
Ready to Rope
Once the new spool is ready, we determine the weight, tension, and gauge of the rope. It then goes into the rope machine to be twisted. JAC will be released with three custom colors: Vintage Linen, Indigo, and Coal.
JAC ... really is more than Just A Chair
Beautiful
Hand-woven macrame seat. Warm solid-wood and brass. Mid-century modern lines. JAC looks just as beautiful next to a fire inside as it does on a mountain top.
Versatile
Sling it over your shoulder for a quick summer trip. Wrap it up and bring it inside for extra winter time seating or a permanently sweet spot to get cozy. JAC goes wherever you go - year round.
Comfortable
With its wide base and tall frame it’s easy for folks of all sizes to find the perfect spot for relaxing. The breathable macrame seat forms to your body and lets the breeze cool you all the way around.
