Founded in 1995 by Frank LEFEBVRE, Bleu Nature is a craft-based business located near Lille, in Northern France. Our principal material is driftwood, but we also use hemp, pebbles, stones and flat rocks, raw linen, boiled wool,leather, skins, teak, slate and petrified wood.

Every year, a team from Bleu Nature combs the beaches for pieces of driftwood. Large or small, straight or twisted—each piece deserves special attention. Once brought back safely to our home base, the driftwood is sorted and stored. They need no further processing because the water has frozen them in time forever.

In our studio, we build, nail, adjust, fasten and balance our pieces.

All Bleu Nature creations are born of an encounter between the technical mastery of a French craftsman and the prolonged work of nature. Nature has fashioned each piece of driftwood over time, rendering every item we produce unique in both form and dimension.

The Bleu Nature collection is the fruit of collective labour.

Every season, all members of the team contribute to the design and production of new products.

This posh Bali Lounge from Tuuci bills itself as a versatile outdoor lounging area, not simply a daybed, though the overall effect is essentially the same. It is made of fiberglass and stainless steel, with weather resistant cushions, pillows and a wicker trim. The canopy, which provides much needed relief from the sun on a hot day, is retractable in the event that you decide to work on your tan. Sheer curtains hand from stainless steel rings, and can offer protection from prying eyes as well as irritating insects. It’s priced around US$10,000.

K&F international was founded in 1992 by Kris Van Puyvelde and Frank Boschman, two engineers who shared the same spirit and energy to build the Royal Botania collection. From the very start the focus was on high quality, original designs, comfort and perfect service. Originally, Royal Botania stood for high level teak garden furniture, but soon a full serie of exquisite outdoor lighting was added, made of different natural materials such as brass, stainless steel , solid granite and of course A-grade teak wood.
