MR01 Initial Lounge Chair Outdoor

$4,699

With its low-slung wooden frame and nautically evocative rope seat and backrest, Mathias Steen Rasmussen’s breakthrough MR01 Initial Lounge Chair has begged to be taken outside since its creation. Rasmussen and GUBI have responded to demand and developed a new variant in iroko wood, specially constructed for use outdoors. Rasmussen conceived the MR01 as a lounge chair that could be used while meditating – a comfortable, gently inclined, low lounge seat in which one could relax, feet to the floor, and relish the calming sensation of floating while remaining grounded. The lightweight chair was always intended to be versatile and nomadic, traveling easily around the home as the user wishes. With the addition of the MR01 Initial Outdoor Lounge Chair to the collection, the comfort, flexibility, and sculptural beauty of Rasmussen’s
ground-breaking design can now be enjoyed outside.

Dimensions: 65cm W x 88cm D x 69cm H | 33cm SH

Materials: FSC® Certified Solid Iroko with waterproof and UV-resistant rope in Sunfire Melange Beige and Sand. An anti-deformation core prevents the rope stretching over time.
