Cube Gallery Presents Diabla
Highlighting the stark beauty of our glacial landscapes, Diabla draws inspiration from the white icy expanses of the Arctic and Antarctic to present an outdoor furniture collection that simultaneously comments on the beauty of natural scapes and the “imminent threat these marvellous environments face and the environmental consequences that result from it.”

“The collections ARP by Made Studio, CACAO by Odosdesign, GRILL by Mut Design and PATOSO and VALENTINA UP by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco express the brand’s ingenious attitude to inhabiting the outdoors: it is not possible to admire the beauty of nature in its entirety without exploring and protecting the most,” explains the company of the various collections that make up the Diabla offering.
Stand-out pieces in the Diabla offering include the ARP lounge chair and coffee table by Made Studio inspired by the Arctic coast and the CACAO air mattress by Odosdesign, which was inspired by the Antarctic.
“Bold and airy, the ARP collection, designed by Borja García and Laura Ros, founders of Made Studio, is full of contrasts. Along the shores of Queen Mary’s Land on the coast of East Antarctica, the ARP armchair and sofa take on a chameleon-like quality thanks to the chosen tones for the frame and textile elements, this time embracing a combination of white and deep blue,” says Diabla.
“ARP makes possible the melding of two seemingly opposing qualities: lightness and volume. Just as the hardness of ice merges with fluffy virgin snow, the comfort of the deep seats finds balance alongside the stability of the tubular structure, reminiscent of harp strings. It reimagines 19th-century cast-iron furniture with a contemporary approach. Simultaneously, the lightness of the backs acts as a counterbalance to the substantial presence of its total volume. The warm and textural component plays a significant role in ARP, adding charisma and comfort, and, as is customary in the entire Diabla catalogue, allowing for numerous customisation possibilities.”
Meanwhile, CACAO offers a novel way of experiencing the beauty of nature with a designer air mattress reminiscent of a glacier.
“With CACAO, Odosdesign fearlessly delves into experimenting with inflatables from a sophisticated perspective within the outdoor universe. This whimsical outdoor furniture collection, masterfully crafted by Ana Segovia and Luis Calabuig, stands out with its mat-like lines inspired by a chocolate bar delicately divided into squares. Yet, this design harbours even more surprises; its structure enables a seamless transformation into a cosy lounger, reminiscent of Mies van der Rohe’s iconic ‘Barcelona’ collection. Its inflatable, lightweight, detachable, and carefree character significantly amplifies the range of possibilities.”
PATOSO
Other signature pieces include the award-winning PATOSO four-leged pouffe design and the VALENTINA UP chaise lounge, lounge chair and coffee table all by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco.
