The nature of flat metal provides a subtle shock absorbency and a sense of adaptive back support even before we sit. This sense of invitation was the essential inspiration for this project.

Flat-packing detail. There are only ten screws needed to assemble the entire lounge chair on site. Often, packaging for lounge chairs can be voluminous on an unnecessary scale, and it was our mission to reconsider such a waste as part of our design development.

We wanted to find a simple solution for developing a democratic lounge chair without over-engineering. The idea was straightforward, and I had this idea for making it flat packing from the start.
