HDPE and color pigments are custom blended, extruded and finished in a method that emulates natural osier visually and texturally.
START WITH HDPE PELLETS
#1
We precisely measure and mix a combination of a pigments to achieve the perfect color tone.
The pigmented HDPE pellets are then loaded into the hopper of our extruding machine.
#2
The machine melts the pellets, then extrudes the material into rope, or "Osiers".
The rope is extruded directly into a cooling bath to quickly set color and shape.
#3
It then passes through spinning wheels that apply our desired texture.
The rope is fed into a baler. Per day, we produce approximately 800 kilos in material which translates to 40 lounge chairs.
#4
The bundles are wrapped, and then passed along to our expert weavers.
aluminum
Precision welded, hand finished and powder-coated to create a solid foundation.
CAST CONCRETE
Hand poured into molds, Louis Osier Co. takes a traditional concrete base and mixes it with fibrous compounds to reduce weight.
Cast Concrete is pigmented and mixed with fibrous compounds to reduce weight and curing time.
Hand molded, finished and sealed. Each piece is slightly different.
Concrete is cured and hand finished.
All pieces are sealed to withstand the elements and feature color pigment that runs throughout.
