Patta and Helinox have teamed up once again for a special collaborative release, merging heritage and modern design into a unique product that speaks to both craftsmanship and cultural pride.
The collaboration between Patta and Helinox is based on the Helinox Tactical Chair while being inspired by the Surinamese Pangi cloth, a culturally significant garment of the Maroon communities.
This specific Pangi cloth, owned by Patta’s co-founder Guillaume Schmidt’s late father, adds a personal and historical touch. The Pangi, known as 'Kosu' in Saamaka, has evolved from a symbol of inferiority to one of freedom and pride, reflecting the resilience of Suriname’s interior communities.
