TOP 5: Take a seat – the most inspiring new products of the month
An old friend in new shades
This classic chair may ring a bell. Originally introduced in the 1980s, the High Tech Chair was designed by Nils “Nisse” Strinning and quickly charmed sitters with its flexible mesh seat and slender steel frame. With its fresh new colors, the beloved design icon feels even more delightful than ever!
The BM5565 deck chair is crafted from untreated teak, a naturally weather-resistant material that develops a beautiful patina over time.
Lean back and soak up the sun
We dare say you won’t want to get up off this deck chair – unless it’s absolutely necessary. The BM5565 deck chair by Carl Hansen & Søn is comfort-approved by Børge Mogensen himself, who originally designed the sunlounger for his own balcony.
Equipped with a handy footrest, the BM5565 features a reclining backrest for full-on lounging. The slatted structure follows the contours of your body, and the generously sized cushion adds the perfect finishing touch.
Frama’s Tasca chair is durable, timelessly beautiful and effortlessly practical in daily use, both indoors and outside.
Taste of Portugal
Your next getaway is closer than you think: the Tasca chair by Frama brings the relaxed warmth of southern tavern evenings right to your home terrace. Designer Pedro Sottomayor drew inspiration for the chair's casual look from the laid-back charm of Portugal’s local taverns called “tascas”.
Made from hand-brushed aluminium, the Tasca chair is built to handle the outdoors, no matter the weather. Yet the chair's timeless silhouette fits just as naturally indoors, whether around the dining table or as extra seating in the living room.
The Pacha lounge chair is a design classic by French designer Pierre Paulin, first introduced in 1975.
Bold, plush, and ready to lounge
The playful Pacha lounge chair by GUBI hardly needs an introduction. Originally designed by Pierre Paulin in the 1970s, this legless lounge classic has been delighting design lovers for decades. Now the chair is dressed to impress in a deliciously bold black-and-white stripes to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
With its luxuriously plump figure and low-slung silhouette, the Pacha chair offers cloud-like comfort and timeless charm. The friendly, rounded form pairs effortlessly with a wide range of interiors, all from cozy living rooms to public spaces as well.

Namaste
