Chaise-longue
Description
Sunray creates a new open-air landscape where refined design and carefully researched comfort come together to create an intimate, relaxing atmosphere. Inspired by the comfort and beauty of indoor furnishings, its enveloping design is conceived to enhance outdoor living, either as a statement piece or in dialogue with other elements of the collection. Natural teak defines the horizontal line, while the curved backrest with interwoven cords adds a dynamic character.
Composed of versatile elements that can stand alone or be combined, Sunray offers a wide range of configurations, including armchairs, sofas, end elements with or without extending tops, chaise-longues, loveseats, daybeds with reclining backrests, and square or rectangular coffee tables. The extensive choice of fabrics from the 2020 Textile Collection allows the system to be personalised with exclusive textures and a broad colour palette.
Structure: Upper frame and legs in tubular stainless steel varnished Bronze colour with polished anti-fingerprint finish. The steel structure is clad in woven polypropylene fiber that forms a 24x7 mm strip. The woven fiber comes in Ecru and Bronze colours. Frame in 60 mm thick solid teak (Tectona Grandis - First European Quality), natural finish, kiln-dried. Crafted on CNC machines, assembled at 45° with finger joints reinforced with dowel pins.
