A sun lounger of remarkable technical craft, featuring hand-woven rope around a welded aluminium frame. Designed by Stephane De Winter, Kobo combines sculptural curved lines with deep, plush seating and an adjustable back.
Kobo Sun Lounger
The Kobo sun lounger by Stephane De Winter represents a rare convergence of technical mastery and timeless design. What appears effortlessly elegant is, in fact, a marvel of construction: hand-woven rope meticulously wrapped around a welded aluminium frame, creating a structure that is both resilient and refined.
The lounger’s curved lines follow the body’s natural contours, while deep, plush seating delivers exceptional comfort for extended relaxation. An adjustable back allows you to shift from upright reading to full recline, adapting to the rhythm of your day.
Technical Craft
Kobo’s defining characteristic lies in its rope structure. Each piece is hand-woven with precision, transforming industrial-grade rope into a textile-like surface that wraps seamlessly around the aluminium skeleton. This labour-intensive process results in a lounger that feels both organic and architectural, with a tactile quality that distinguishes it from conventional outdoor furniture.
The welded aluminium frame provides structural integrity without visual weight, allowing the rope weaving to remain the focal point. This combination of materials ensures durability in outdoor environments while maintaining the collection’s refined aesthetic.
Design and Finish
Available in two rope finishes, anthracite and pepper, the Kobo sun lounger integrates into diverse outdoor settings. The restrained colour palette allows the form and craftsmanship to speak without distraction.
Measuring 220 centimetres in length, the lounger offers full-body support with generous proportions. Protective covers are available to extend the life of the piece across seasons.
The Kobo Collection
Part of a broader collection that includes sofas and armchairs, the Kobo sun lounger shares the same design language and construction philosophy. Each piece in the collection demonstrates Stephane De Winter’s commitment to technical complexity executed with visual restraint, resulting in outdoor furniture that rewards close inspection and long-term use.
