Description
Since 1908, Carl Hansen & Søn has embodied the quintessence of Danish design by combining craftsmanship, quality and innovation. The brand brings together the masterpieces of Scandinavian design: timeless icons from the past as well as the best of contemporary creation. Handcrafted in Denmark, these pieces with their exceptional quality stand the test of time. The Cuba MG501 lounge chair was created in 1997 by Danish designer Morten Gøttler. Originally trained in shipping, Morten Gøttler became a self-taught designer and architect recognised for his exceptional understanding of wood. He develops traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship in a new context. His style has its roots in the tradition of Scandinavian design, with a marked taste for lightness and simplicity, values which are joined by attention to detail, quality materials and comfort. Cuba Chair is a nod to the masters of Scandinavian design who in the past experimented and pushed the boundaries of the folding chair concept. This folding lounge chair has a solid wooden frame. The hand-woven seat is made of paper cord. Very robust, the paper cord perfectly imitates plant fibre, with its warm, natural aspect. It's lifespan easily stretches over 50 years and is (at least) as durable as textiles and quality leather. The woven paper cord forms a comfortable seat and backrest. This chair offers excellent support by delicately following the contours of the body. The lightweight frame folds for convenient storage. Highly functional, this armchair nonetheless remains incredibly elegant. In short, it perfectly embodies the concept of complex simplicity.
