Sunny Chair

SW00050 chair

Code SW00050 identifies Sunny, a 2009 Tord Boontje chair placed by Moroso in M'Afrique and Outdoor Living. Its tall back ends in a distinctive curled crest.

Frame and cord

Makers in Dakar wrap coloured polyethylene line by hand around a painted steel structure. This robust cord is also used for fishing nets. PVC glides finish the ground-contact points, while natural irregularities reflect the manual production.

Pattern specification

Five paired-colour schemes and eight named multicolour weaves are documented for the chair.

A remembered coastal chair

Boontje drew on beach furniture used along Northern European shorelines during the 1920s. Sunny turns that reference into a narrow high-backed silhouette, with digitally developed colour arrangements woven across the seat and curled crest.

Made in Senegal

Production takes place entirely in Dakar. The painted metal framework is covered manually with polyethylene line, making small differences of colour, shape and weave an expected characteristic of every finished chair.
