The Florencia chair is a piece of furniture that is simple in construction and is able to fit into many environments without getting lost in space. With a seemingly continuous frame and an easily replaceable/cleanable fabric, the chair can be moved around a home through many years and hopefully through generations as we seek products that live with us. The Florencia Lounge Chair features a smooth continuous frame with seamless zero hardware joints. Making the chair simple to construct reduces the need for extra tools, hardware, and instructions. The hooked leather or cotton offers a comfortable and beautiful spot to unwind. The hooked cloth relies on gravity to hold the sitter, creating a hammock feel that adapts to the user’s contour. The Ghost Orchid, native to South Florida is characterized by its lack of leaves, making it seem like it floats in mid-air. Latching onto tree bark with its roots and swinging outward. Its swinging sepals and petals and the feeling of suspension of the flower are translated into the Florencia chair.
