Arms Outdoor Longue Chair

Arms Outdoor Longue Chair is an innovative outdoor furniture design that exemplifies the harmonious blend of ergonomic functionality and aesthetic sophistication. Created by designer Cameron Smith, this distinctive lounger draws its inspiration from the natural posture of beachgoers, specifically emulating the relaxed position of a person leaning back on their arms. The design features a unique architectural composition with angled back legs and an upright position that sets it apart from traditional lounge chairs, making it particularly suitable for social environments and compact spaces. Constructed with powder-coated aluminum sheet metal and teak slats, the chair demonstrates exceptional durability and weather resistance while maintaining a refined appearance. The thoughtful engineering accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of wood through an innovative central post system, where the teak components are secured with epoxy within the aluminum frame. Standing at 800mm tall, 700mm wide, and 1450mm deep, the chair's proportions are carefully calculated to optimize comfort while maintaining a modest footprint. The design incorporates practical features such as removable teak slats for easy maintenance and strategic drainage slots in the frame to prevent water accumulation. Winner of the Bronze A' Design Award in the Garden and Outdoor Furniture Design category, this chair represents a significant achievement in outdoor furniture design, combining technical innovation with aesthetic appeal. The development process, which spanned from February 2019 to August 2021, included extensive ergonomic testing using adjustable models to perfect the seating angles and dimensions for optimal user comfort.
