Looking at their outdoor assortment, Blu Dot had a good mix of materials and textures, but none that involved a softer, more tactile element like rope. They began by sketching continuous lines which would become the frame and, as it turns out, the perfect armature for a woven back. They made a prototype and used yards of colored shoelaces to experiment with different weaving patterns. Then they landed on a simple pattern that both mimics and complements the powder-coated steel frame, keeping it feeling minimal, organic and endlessly comfortable.

The Mate Outdoor lounge chair features a woven all-weather rope that wraps a tubular aluminum frame to create a balance of texture, comfort and resilience. The Sunbrella upholstered seat cushion is UV and mildew resistant. Proportioned for relaxation. Pair with the Mate ottoman for full leg support. Also available as a Dining Chair.
