The garden gets an upgrade with the simple functionality of two of French architect and designer Marcel Gascoin’s most enduring iconic designs.
A new outdoor version of the much-loved C-Chair – a dining chair originally designed in 1947 for post-war housing in France – is joined outside by a little-known Gascoin gem, the F-Chair.
For the new outdoor versions, a combination of hardwearing and naturally durable teak and weatherproof woven cord, inspired by Gascoin’s nautical upbringing, makes the perfect material choice for high-quality exterior furniture.
Both the C-Chair and the F-Chair are optimized for the outdoors in both their ergonomics and their materiality.
Proportions have been fine-tuned to maximize comfort and frames have been carefully crafted with traditional joinery using plantation teak.
The seats and backrests are tightly woven from an outdoor all-weather fiber made of an extruded polyethylene and twisted to resemble natural hyacinth woven furniture.
The weave pattern creates triangle shapes from all four sides of the seat and backrest, converging at the center of each like an envelope.
The woven cord captures the natural look of the indoor version, while being durable enough to withstand the elements outside.
Teak’s naturally high oil content allows it to stay in fantastic condition in even the harshest of climates, without additional treatment, developing a beautiful silvery patina over time.
The chairs only use farmed plantation teak with SVLK certification, which ensures biodiversity, sustainable forestry practices, and provides additional economic benefits to the local economy.
