Dezeen Showroom: French designer Jérémie du Chaffaut designed the Cadiero chair for Midi, which takes cues from vernacular furniture from the South of France.

Cadiero, which translates to "chair" in the Provençal language, references the traditional craftsmanship of Southern France via its seat and backrest, which are made from straw.

The rye straw used in the design is harvested from the banks of the Rhone, a major river that runs through France and Switzerland.

Straw is woven and fixed onto the chair's wooden frame – a process that requires a highly skilled local artisan.

Cadiero represents Midi's brand ethos, which it describes as "a perfect balance between folklore, the know-how of excellence, and the innovation of forms and patterns".

"It's not about building yet another piece of furniture, or that one object too many," said the brand.
