Carl Hansen's Outdoor MG501 Cuba Chair merges comfort with function. It offers a sleek foldable garden chair design ideal for outdoor spaces. The teak frame and waterproof flat rope seat and backrest emphasise Scandinavian design and its robust outdoor functionality.
The Outdoor-Friendly Folding Chair
The Carl Hansen Outdoor MG501 Cuba Chair, reimagined by Morten Gøttler, shines in the world of Scandinavian garden furniture. More than just an outdoor lounge chair, it's a testament to minimalism and functional elegance, perfectly suited for outdoor environments. This design showcases the fusion of simplicity, utility, and robust outdoor adaptability.
Weather Resistant Materials
Set apart from the indoor version of the MG501 Cuba Chair, this version is made in materials suitable for outdoors. Not only this but, each element of the Carl Hansen Outdoor Cuba Chair exemplifies Danish craftsmanship. Gøttler's transition from the shipping industry to furniture design gives his pieces a distinctly robust quality. As a result, this Scandi garden chair boasts a sturdy teak frame, ideal for outdoor conditions, and a waterproof flat rope seat/backrest.
Carl Hansen's Responsibly Crafted Outdoor Furniture
Sustainability remains central to the MG501's outdoor variant. The chair uses responsibly sourced teak and eco-friendly materials, reflecting an ongoing commitment to environmental respect. Also, its ergonomic design gives a surprising level of comfort when compared to other garden folding chairs.
Adaptable for Every Outdoor Setting
The MG501 Cuba Chair's design is exceptionally versatile, seamlessly fitting into various outdoor settings. Whether placed in a garden, on a patio, or in an open-air lounge, it adapts effortlessly. Its folding mechanism enhances practicality, making it easy to store and relocate, meeting diverse outdoor needs.
Is This the Premier Contemporary Outdoor Folding Chair?
In the realm of folding chairs, the MG501 stands out, especially when compared to options like the Narin Folding Chair or the Butterfly Chair. It's distinguished by its unique narrative and Scandinavian design ethos, tailored for outdoor use. While it may be pricier, it represents an enduring investment, poised to enrich outdoor living areas and become a cherished legacy. Discover more in our detailed review of the Outdoor Cuba.
