There's a long history of slatted outdoor furniture. The focus was to use the familiarity of this language to inform a new perspective. The result, a chair and table that utilize Tectona's expertise and dedication to craft, to shape a union between aluminum tube and teak wood. The curvilinear tubular frame cradles wooden slats ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The slats placed side by side, similar to a barrel, conform to the body and allow water to pass through the gaps. The frame is formed to create the silhouette of a seating shell, the slats are added to complete the form. In the end, the dialogue between the rigid nature of the teak slats and the softness of the curving aluminum frame speaks of a sensitivity found in life outdoors.
