Portique Armchair by Florent Coirier

Designer from Paris Florent Coirier has created the Portique armchair inspired by the garden swings, as well as walk-loading of goods from the port of Nantes/Saint-Nazaire.

“Drawing on the expertise of boilermakers and carpenters workshops, the chair uses materials common to shipbuilding. The aluminum tube is bent and used its light properties, creating an illusion compared to the apparent strength of the tubes. The Traditional natural rope, is replaced by the nautical rope in polyester and polyamide, stronger and more varied in choice of colors. The wooden board is retained, but treated in a noble solid wood (Oak gross)

This chair plays with the archetypes of garden games, and refers directly to our childhood feelings.”
