“The starting point for this collection was TechTeak, the new material developed by POINT, which has a surprisingly similar appearance to teak but is maintenance-free and highly resistant to impact”, says Gabriel Teixidó. “When we designed Kubik, we wanted to respond to two essential challenges: to guarantee outdoor durability and to offer an ecological option. Unlike other collections, in this one it was the characteristics of the material itself that determined the final design”.
