EASY is a collection by Rocío Gambín for Diabla that originated from the idea of creating simple designs from several points of view: easy to produce, acquire, integrate, transport and store. The pieces it comparises-the chair with and without arms and the stool table-are both the result of capturing an essence that travels to the heart of the brand's identity, which is defined by its casual, bold and cosmopolitan style. Rocío Gambín likes "things to be simple and honest" and so, EASY sticks to the essentials from both an aesthetic and technical point of view. "EASY chairs and stools are understood, integrated, transported and stored without complications." The series, which nods to the simplicity of Scandinavian designs and the originality of Italian design that make up the creator's references, is made entirely of textured power-coated aluminium making its lightness and versatility its strength.
It is precisely their lightweight nature that make EASY pieces the best allies of those who choose to wander unpretentiously, because it is the way to discover all those things that are just around the corner, waiting to amaze us. Diabla's explorer spirit, eager for exciting outdoor experiences accompanied by unique designs such as EASY, has found this to be true: even our immediate surroundings can offer such extraordinary surprises as Greenacre Park. This hidden paradise located at the end of a cul-de-sac next to MOMA, away from the hustle and bustle of New York City, inspires the lush urban garden imagined by Diabla to enjoy EASY.
EASY
"In a design as encapsulated as possible, any extra features are superfluous." The EASY chair is available with and without arms. Austere in its line and lacking upholstery and cushions, it is comfortable due to its ergonomics, as its design pays great attention to the inclination and curve of the backrest. Resistant and durable, EASY chairs are stackable like their inseparable companions, the side tables, which can also function as stools. EASY comes in all Diabla lacquer colours, from neutral to bold, and works well in small settings – indoors or outdoors – as well as in contract spaces. Their casual disposition makes them very easy to combine with other furniture elements and makes them a perfect wildcard to bring balance and harmony to dynamic and changing spaces where many things happen at the same time.
