In spirit, the Every Day Chair is a relative of the vintage camp and sling outdoor chairs whose utilitarian designs have become symbols of outdoor recreation and connecting with nature. Designed by Landscape Forms, it brings this philosophy into the modern era, combining precisely bent wire and steel strapping to create a chair that’s refined, visually lighter, and more welcoming in its gentle curves and softened edges. Utilizing steel wire and strapping gives the Every Day Chair an airy presence and lightweight tactile experience while being robust enough to confidently withstand stacking and repeated reconfiguration. Its design focuses on maximizing usability and offering a variety of different use cases, becoming the go-to solution for spaces whose layout and purpose may change on a season-to-season or even day-to-day basis.
Every Day Chair recognizes the increased importance and desire for people to meaningfully bring more aspects of daily life outdoors. It simplifies the creation of these types of settings, maximizing the usability of valuable outdoor space while maintaining a stylish, design-forward atmosphere. Ergonomically, the Every Day Chair is upright yet relaxed, designed to accommodate a variety of postures. Its gentle curves, softened edges and optional rounded arms make a welcoming gesture. A sled base bolsters structural integrity and offers more stability on a variety of surfaces including grass and gravel.
Every Day Chair is finished in a wide variety of artful colors with Landscape Forms’ proprietary Pangard II ® polyester powdercoat. This finish is lead-free, hazardous air pollutants-(HAPS) free, does not generate hazardous waste, and contains less than 1% VOCs. Once processed, these trace VOCs are fully inert therefore the finish does not release airborne contaminants. Each Every Day Chair contains 90.8% pre- and post-consumer recycled content, and the chairs themselves are 100% recyclable at the end of a long, durable lifespan.
