Dragnet Lounge Chair by Kenneth Cobonpue

Polycotton fabric (indoor) or Sunbrella acrylic fabric (outdoor) is twisted and wrapped around a frame of powdercoated steel. Legs made of stainless steel.
“The weaving method is inspired by a traditional Filipino technique, but the materials are very new. I developed a knotting technique that wraps fabric around a galvanized-steel frame. “The name is inspired by the way fishnets look dragging through the water, capturing the beauty of the colorful fish. My hope is that Dragnet could capture the beauty of people in this way.”The indoor model comes with a seat cushion and a big pillow in Picasso Natural fabric. The outdoor model has a seat cushion in Sunbrella Canvas. Dimensions chair: 85cm/33" in deep, 108cm/ 42.5" wide, 155cm/ 53" high. Footstool: 87x69x40cm/ 34x27x16". Watch thevideo.
