From Wind to Design: The Story of DVELAS

Luxury Sustainable Outdoor Furniture for Architectural Specification

DVELAS is not nostalgia disguised as furniture. It is architectural storytelling through material memory — a design studio that retrieves retired marine sails and reawakens them into sculptural outdoor furniture and tensioned shade systems for those who specify with meaning.

Born from the Ocean — Reimagined for Architecture

On the deck of a sailboat somewhere off San Sebastián, a sail ends its final voyage. That’s where most stories stop. DVELAS begins there.

In its Spanish atelier, that sail is unfolded — not as a discarded textile, but as evidence of experience. Salt-marked. Weather-sculpted. Irreplaceably real.

DVELAS does not erase the past. It elevates it.

Not Recycled — Reawakened

The studio’s philosophy is not based on recovery, but on continuity:
✔ material intelligence over trend
✔ preservation of memory over surface perfection
✔ architecture over decoration

These sails — engineered from dyneema, aramid, kevlar — are naturally UV-stable, salt-resistant, and tensile-precise, making them inherently suited to luxury coastal, hospitality, and outdoor architectural environments.

Every piece is editioned — labelled with its original vessel, port, and sail type. You don’t just purchase a product. You specify a traceable narrative.

Furniture That Still Moves with the Wind

DVELAS pieces retain the behaviour of their past life — breathing subtly in outdoor conditions:

  • Génois bean bags — relaxed, sculptural, kinetic under breeze

  • Folding stools — behave like technical deck equipment

  • Shade systems — tensioned, architectural, almost sail-like in posture

This is not static outdoor furniture. It is living spatial material.

The Poetry of Architectural Sustainability

In a world of throwaway materials, DVELAS quietly proves a different way:

  • Design can be fearless and responsible
  • Luxury can be poetic and performance-led
  • Objects can carry context, geography, salt, and story

Every sail delivered to the atelier is not the end. It is a new commission.
