Why You'll Love This Low Rope Lounge Chair

A low lounge chair that is distinctively Danish yet strikingly modern, the Gubi MR01 Initial Chair designed by Mathias Steen Rasmussen has craftsmanship at its core. Rasmussen's background in woodworking heavily influences his furniture design, indeed he approaches the design process with his hands – drawing sketches and building prototypes. This is visible in the use of traditional carpentry techniques and clever use of wood grain direction. 

The rustic yet elegant seat and backrest are hand-woven from 90 meters of rope, using a method that locks the rope into the frame. The seat, which extends into the back leg, provides support for the backrest. The chair's low-slung, gentle incline is designed to give the sitter a sense of floating, promoting a contemplative feeling of calm. The chair will acquire a pleasing patina as it ages. Its lightweight form, which facilitates easy movement, flexibility of function and small footprint suit today’s urban lifestyles.
