Designed, but not realised, in 1940, by charlotte perriand during her time in tokyo, this chair uses bamboo to revisit the famous lc4 chaise-longue. The seat of this recliner is made of twelve curved strips of wood while the joining elements are satin-finish brass studs. Adding mattresses for outdoor use provides dashes of colour to help furnish a veranda, terrace, or any other kind of outdoor space.
