The sunbed, the archetype par excellence of outdoor furniture, interprets all the elements that characterise the aesthetics of the Timeout Collection, re-proposing the theme of the burnished painted aluminium band, running along the entire profile, and the traditional motif of the polypropylene rope weave.
The backrest allows for different inclinations. It can be made entirely of solid teak slats woven in polypropylene rope.
The wooden slats are the same width as those of the 6- or 8-seater table, supporting that refined interplay of dimensional recurrences that links the products of the same collection or between the two families of outdoor furniture.
The sunbed is lightweight and can be easily moved thanks to the wheel fitted to the backrest. To ensure maximum safety, the wheel is positioned barely suspended, being activated only when the sunbed is raised. This is one of the many details that underlines the design precision of the Collection.
Vincent Van Duysen was born in 1962, in Lokeren, Belgium and graduated in architecture at the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, in Ghent. From 1986 to 1989 he worked in Milan and Brussels. He opened his own studio in Antwerp, in 1990 focusing on architecture and interior design. The relationship between interior design and architecture in his work is profound. Furnishings and accessories are designed with an architectural perspective that is not limited by form, but is expressed with a careful perception of interior space and its relationship to the exterior architecture. By interpreting architecture and redefining its proportions, Van Duysen creates objects of great purity and simplicity that still retain a concrete character and solid form.
