This minimalist outdoor rocking chair in stainless steel, nautical rope, solid wood and tapestry is designed within architectonic and geometric reasoning. All elements constitute its functioning and are sized to ensure stability and comfort with the minimum of material.
This sustainable orientation, besides allowing affordable product promotes a light and simple aesthetic. the structure in metallic tubular profile, as a continuous trace in space, touches two tubular wooden arches at four points.
The system is stabilized by a locking profile that defines the height of the seat and the ropes entwined in this set form the seat and backrest. Marcelo is an honest piece that clearly reveals its components and contributes to a playful ambience.
