Deckchair, resilient, foldable

  • Idea and design by Troels Grum-Schwensen
  • Prototype
  • Design: 1992 – 1994
  • Publicized: 1994 at SE94

 

Outdoor resting-chair in Teak and stainless steel.

The thin and curved slats in seat and back gives a comfortable resiliency.

The slats in the back are connected by solely one traverse. This allows the upper-ends of the slats to move freely and adapt to the shape of the sitting person.

The traverse has a cylindrical shape and functions like a hinge. In this manner the chair can be adjusted for different ways of sitting, from a steep back to reclining positions.

 

By the end of the outdoor-season, the chair can easily and without the use of tools, be separated into three parts; seat, back and frame. The frame can then be folded, and the three units decoratively hung on a wall-hook.
