Kobo Rope Lounge Chair

Kobo Lounge Chair by Stephane De Winter

The Kobo Lounge Chair represents a rare convergence of technical mastery and timeless design. Conceived by Stephane De Winter, this piece reveals its complexity through restraint: every element serves both structural integrity and visual refinement.

Hand-Woven Rope Construction

At the heart of Kobo lies an intricate structure of hand-woven rope, meticulously wrapped around a welded aluminium frame. This labour-intensive process demands precision and patience, resulting in a surface that is both tactile and architectural. The rope work is not merely decorative but integral to the chair’s structural expression, creating a visual rhythm that shifts with light and perspective.

Sculptural Form and Comfort

Curved lines define the Kobo silhouette, lending the lounge chair a sculptural presence that feels both organic and deliberate. These contours are complemented by deep, plush seating that invites extended repose. The marriage of firm structure and generous cushioning creates a seating experience that balances support with softness, making Kobo as comfortable as it is visually compelling.

Material Integrity

The welded aluminium frame provides a foundation of strength and weather resistance, essential for outdoor environments. This robust core allows the hand-woven rope to perform its dual role: structural support and aesthetic expression. The result is a lounge chair built to endure while maintaining its refined appearance.

Finishing Options

Kobo is available in two carefully selected rope finishes: anthracite and pepper. Each colourway offers a distinct character while preserving the collection’s understated elegance. These finishes have been chosen to complement a range of outdoor settings, from minimalist terraces to lush garden environments.

Technical Excellence

Beneath its serene exterior, the Kobo Lounge Chair is a marvel of engineering. The complexity of its construction is deliberately concealed, allowing the purity of form to take precedence. This is furniture that rewards close inspection, revealing layers of craftsmanship that speak to a commitment to quality and longevity.
