A LIGHT AND FLEXIBLE FOLDING CHAIR

This stylish lounge chair displays exquisite textures and natural materials. Expert functionalism also makes folding it away an absolute pleasure.

Designed by Morten Gøttler in 1997, the MG501 Cuba Chair captures contemporary design with its ideal balance of form and function and nods to previous masters who experimented with elevating the folding chair concept. Taking extra seating to a new level, it features a solid oak frame, with the cotton girths around the frame forming a comfortable seat and back and providing excellent support as they gently follow the body’s contours. Ideal as an extra or a permanent fixture, the light and flexible folding lounge chair can easily be hung on a wall for convenient storage. The classic design is also available in two other variants: one with a seat and back in handwoven paper cord for a lighter, more refined expression; the other in weather-proof FSC-certified teak, fade-resistant flat-weave rope and stainless steel, guaranteeing long-term durability that makes it ideal for outdoor use on the patio, terrace or balcony or in garden spaces.

Born 1944

Striking the perfect balance between form and function is the starting point for Danish architect and self-taught furniture designer Morten Gøttler’s design process, in which he acknowledges his Scandinavian roots through his simple and readable forms, high-quality craftsmanship and long-lasting materials. Gøttler says he is indebted to the legendary furniture designers who set the standard in the 1950s and 1960s, the golden age of Danish Design.

After working with product development and design for a number of companies, Gøttler opened his own design studio in 1972. He has since worked in a wide range of genres, including domestic art, packaging, toys, graphics and lighting for Danish and international companies. In 1984, Gøttler decided to focus primarily on furniture design, using an approach rooted in the modern Scandinavian design tradition and the firm belief that innovation is the foundation for successful design.

Gøttler’s clean, easy aesthetic is characterized by carefully considered form, exquisite comfort, and close attention to detail – all brought to life using high-quality materials.
