Zephyr Lounger
Charles Wilson for Tait
Australia
A “Zephyr” – often referred to in sailing where a yacht may catch a gentle, uplifting breeze – is a phenomenon that draws parallels to the graceful lines of the Zephyr Lounger. The nautically-influenced piece features windswept lines of seat and backrest taking on a sail-like pose to create the framework for form-fitting upholstery.
Offering support at all the right touchpoints, the Zephyr Lounger provides elevated, ergonomic comfort in the outdoors and through the slightly accentuated recline and tensioned sling-style canvas, both lower back and upper neck are cradled. Breathable marine-grade canvas and a gap between seat and backrest allow for air movement through the piece.
High-performance materials meet sophisticated design with Zephyr. The lounger brings supportive and ergonomic comfort to outdoor lounging through its elegant, sling-like design – without compromising on durability. Featuring high-performance materiality to withstand extreme coastal conditions, the Zephyr Lounger’s frame is formed stainless steel extrusion, the arms are manufactured with solid die-cast stainless steel, the canvas is marine-grade, and the frame is finished in hard-wearing, exterior-grade and UV stable textured powder coat. All components of the Zephyr Lounger can be disassembled and fully recycled or repurposed at the end of its life.
