Sun Lounger for Hanno Nevanlinna

The 365 Sun Lounger is the first piece of garden furniture with cushions that resists the forces of nature and is always ready for use. The curved form of the chair together with the foldable backrest serves three functions combined: aesthetics, comfort and unique protection for the cushions. There is no need for wiping dust, pollen or bird droppings, or snow. All you need to do is to flip the waterproof backrest open and enjoy the dry, clean and soft cushions. The chair makes your garden usable 365 days a year, 24hours a day.

Production Technology

The lounger offers a feeling of luxury with perfect ergonomics and comfort. It looks stylish also when not in use and requires no winter covers. The cushions are well ventilated to resist mould also when the back rest is folded down. The lounger is made of sustainable and extremely durable Accoya which lasts decades and requires no painting. Curve form with glue lamination. Minimal production waste. The ecological life cycle footprint is further minimized as there is no need for storage space.

Project Duration

Project was started 02/20 in Espoo Finland and finished 02/22.

Operation Flow

When the rain stops and the sun start shining. Take a coffee and walk to the garden. Lift up the backrest and sit down to enjoy.

Research

Lean Service Creation was used as the base design method. The users problem worth solving was defined based on user insight interviews among end users and interior designers. The design process was prototype heavy. Dozens of protos were made to find the optimal curve for ergonomics and weather shield. As the construction needs to be watertight typical furniture building methods do not apply.

Inspiration

The design was inspired by the short Nordic summer: the sunny moments are rare and too precious to be wasted cleaning furniture and carrying cushions back and forth. Why are outdoor furniture designed for decades so that they can’t handle outdoor conditions? As a designer I was tempted to try to show that it’s possible to redesign everything. Not just to change the form factor or ergonomics but to change the way the way the chair is used and the daily value it can provide.
