Why We Love It
The chair has the rare outdoor quality of feeling both useful and remembered. The footstool extends the gesture, the woven material keeps it warm, and the silhouette gives an open-air room a real focal point.
Why This Belongs
- It gives an outdoor corner a clear reason to exist.
- The woven surface brings warmth without requiring heavy upholstery.
- The reclining shape feels generous while staying visually light.
- Nanna Ditzel's 1961 design gives the piece real lineage, not trend energy.
- It supports the Sonnetta test: does it make your heart sing?

Details
- How We'd Style It
- Place it where morning or late-afternoon light can reach it: a terrace, a garden edge, or a stone patio with one low table nearby. Add linen, a book, a ceramic cup, and enough negative space for the chair to keep its shape.
- Materials
- Alu-Rattan matters because it gives the woven look a weather-aware structure. The aluminum frame keeps the form light, while polyethylene allows the chair to live outdoors without pretending to be indoor furniture.
- Why this won
- It stayed with us because it turns utility into atmosphere. The chair is practical, but the feeling is the point.
- Feels right for
- Morning coffee outdoors · A terrace that needs one unforgettable object · Garden rooms built around fewer, better pieces · Homes where outdoor living should feel as considered as the interior
