- Practical folding chair mechanism
- Two versions available, an indoor and outdoor Cuba Chair
- Beautifully crafted from natural materials
Carl Hansen's MG501 Cuba Chair prioritises comfort, utility and simple beauty in a contemporary Scandinavian folding chair. Its solid oak frame and choice of cotton webbing or Danish paper cord seat and backrest embody Scandi simplicity and exquisite craftsmanship.
The Scandinavian Folding Chair
The Carl Hansen MG501 Cuba Chair, designed by the talented Morten Gøttler, is a standout piece in the realm of Scandinavian design. It's not just a lounge chair, but a symbol of minimalist beauty and functional elegance. This design goes beyond the usual. It is a true representation of how simplicity, utility and good design can merge into everyday objects.
Strong and Beautiful
Every part of the Carl Hansen Cuba Chair speaks of high-quality Danish craftsmanship. The chair features a smooth oak frame. It also includes an option of cotton webbing or Danish paper cord. Morten Gøttler's unique journey from the shipping industry to furniture design adds a special touch to his designs. The MG501 Cuba Chair is not only strong but also beautifully crafted.
Responsibly Made Furniture – Carl Hansen
Sustainability is at the heart of the MG501's design. This is because the wood comes from forests managed responsibly. Also, the natural webbing or Danish paper cord materials reflect a deep respect for the environment. The chair's ergonomic design ensures comfortable seating. Its subtle recline and supportive back make sitting a pleasure, blending comfort with support seamlessly.
A Folding Chair For Indoors and Outdoors
The design of the MG501 Cuba Chair is remarkably adaptable too. It fits perfectly in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Carl Hansen recently released the Cuba Chair Outdoor version in teak and flat woven rope. Whether it's the centre of a living room or a peaceful spot in a garden, it adapts effortlessly. Its foldable feature adds to its practicality. This makes it easy to store and move, suiting different space needs.
The Best Contemporary Folding Chair?
When compared to similar chairs, like the Narin Folding Chair or the Butterfly Chair, the Cuba Chair really shines. Its unique story and Scandinavian design principles make it distinct. Whilst it costs a little more, it's more than a purchase; it's an investment. This chair enriches living spaces and holds the potential to become a family heirloom.
