When it comes to laid-back summer lounging, it’s all about slick, adjustable sunbeds, aerodynami­c Porsche-inspired chaise longues, a triangular tribute to the ’70s beanbag, recyclable plastic-mould designs in bright colours,

and the return of the classic striped deck chair.

“I AM

DIVIDED BY

TWO OPPOSITE WAYS OF THINKING:

SUPER MODERNISM

AND PAST DESIGNS.” – FRANCESCO ROTA

RIPPLE EFFECT

Wave is a contempora­ry outdoor chaise longue sunbed designed by Francesco Rota for Paola Lenti. Hand-woven with rope

cord, its adjustable backrest can be set to two positions. Available locally from Il Lusso. paolalenti.it/en | illusso.co.za

PORSCHE PROFILE

“The 356 is a collection of outdoor furniture inspired by the sinuous and elegant curves of the first Porsche 356 made in the 1940s and 1950s, which bestow ergonomics and comfort on the product,” says José Antonio Gandía-Blasco Canales, who designed the 356 chaise longue with Pablo Gironés. It’s made from 100% recyclable rotation-moulded polyethyle­ne.

BEANBAG REDUX

As a tribute to the bean bag of the 1970s, designer Héctor Serrano came up with his own version using just two pieces of fabric and a triangular pattern. The polystyren­e bead filling moves and moulds for optimum comfort.

CUSTOMISAB­LE COMPOSITIO­NS

The Clip collection offers modular versatilit­y with just two pieces: the ergonomic chair and the side table that doubles as a footrest to turn the chair into a lounger. Available in an array of bright shades, it’s moulded from

100% recyclable polyethyle­ne. Available locally from Limeline. diablaoutd­oor.com | limeline.co.za

POSTCARD APPEAL

The traditiona­l striped deck chair with footstool remains a seaside classic. Polo South Africa is launching a new outdoor furniture range in December, with more homeware items joining the collection in early 2020. polo.co.za
