The idea behind Waver was to deliberately depart from conventional armchair typology. Waver embodies a new aesthetic, incorporating materials and construction principles from the outdoor sports that inspired the design. Though its technical construction is simple, Waver offers the very same comfortable seating generally associated with classic upholstered furniture. The vibrant colors of the fabrics and the clearly emphasized connecting and functional elements give Waver its sporty look and feel. Despite its simple construction comprising just one layer of fabric, Waver, in combination with a seat and neck cushion, offers a high level of seating comfort. This is further enhanced by its swivel chair function and its large cantilever frame, which allow great freedom of movement. With its sporty appearance, Waver not only complements your living room as a cosy reading or television chair. Thanks to its waterproof materials, it is also suitable for use in the garden or on the patio.
