Story
Horizontal teak, curved cord
Sunray juxtaposes different shapes and materials. The airy natural teak surface defines its horizontal line, while the curved backrest with interwoven cords gives it a dynamic allure.
Built to lead outdoors
Sunray is designed to play a leading role in outdoor settings. Its teak top has a sloping section and sits on a polished Bronze metal structure; it is tapered on the edges and holds the mattress-like cushioning of the seat. The backrest has a tubular profile covered in flat cord, which draws a linear weave.
