H55 Chair by Bjorn Hulten from Skargaarden

The H55 Folding Lounge Chair from Skargaarden is a piece calling for the sun's rays with a finely crafted composition of wood and fabric. The chair highlights Scandinavian company Skargaarden's philosophy of creating outdoor pieces with the highest quality because of the region's abbreviated sunny days. An adjustable teak wooden frame shoots in a crossing silhouette with a sense of contemporary finesse. Its soft seating portion nestles inside the wooden contouring in a sweeping curve.

Just hours away from the Arctic Circle off the coast of the Baltic Sea, Skargaarden hails from the small, Swedish town of Gaulle. Out there, where the terrain is rough and the weather is harsh (with snowy winters, rain ridden falls, and shrouding darkness for most of the year), the small town boasts a history rooted in finishing. Skargaarden, expands the town's character with Scandinavian designed pieces that are made to withstand the difficult weather around Gaulle; and if outdoor furniture can tough it out up there, it certainly can anywhere else. Skargaarden draws its design inspiration from a mélange of sources that range from Scandinavian traditions, American Shaker craftsmanship, to timeless Bauhaus designs; and when it comes to their pieces, less is more. Ideas become tangible through effortlessness, lighthearted appeal, and a character defined by high quality craftsmanship. Perhaps the most apparent the brand's design comes through details that are revealed over time; offering ingenious solutions that elevate simplicity to sublime. In doing away with unneeded fuss and additives, simplicity can take on a character of its own and develop into something more than imagined.
