Construction

The sheet names a lounge chair of solid wood and performance canvas, with an interchangeable seat and back. The wood is untreated teak (FSC Mix 70%) and the seat and back are performance canvas in papyrus. Fredericia says the frame has exposed joinery, and that the canvas gives a plastic-free alternative to polyurethane foam.

A classic reimagined for the outside

Fredericia writes that the original Canvas Chair was drawn in 1970 as one of Børge Mogensen's final designs. The outdoor adaptation keeps the original silhouette, with its open frame, exposed joinery and disciplined lines, while refining the materials for exterior living.

Teak and canvas

The page sets two elements against each other: FSC-certified teak, chosen for strength and stability, and suspended canvas. It says the teak will silver subtly over time while the canvas keeps its soft tension, and that the chair is meant to move between interior and outdoor settings.
