Sustainable sophistication. Ease into the Ocean Outdoor Lounge Chair from Mater and imagine the soothing sights of the coast, knowing you’re helping clean its waters. It’s a piece by Nanna Ditzel, a Danish icon representing the region’s refined aesthetic. Ditzel’s experimentation with materials in her career makes this piece fitting as a state-of-the-art construction. The chair uses recycled plastic made from fishing nets, trawls, and ropes cleaned up from the ocean. The innovative material takes on the shape of a wave as a slatted seat. The curves of the seat provide airy, form-hugging comfort. A tubular steel frame leans one’s back for optimal lounging and a sculptural silhouette.
