Floger Lounge Chair

Floger Lounge Chair

Floger Lounge Chair is an innovative folding and stacking lounge chair design that seamlessly combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, created by renowned industrial designer Dr. Hakan Gürsu. The chair's distinctive design draws inspiration from natural shell forms, featuring a contoured molded structure that adapts to the user's body shape, offering superior comfort compared to conventional folding chairs. Crafted from Glass Reinforced Fiber (GRF) for the main body and featuring conical tubes with ABS shoes for the legs, the chair demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of material engineering and ergonomic principles. The design's unique folding mechanism allows for compact storage, with dimensions of 820mm x 790mm x 870mm that reduce to 670mm x 790mm x 610mm in its folded state. The chair's aesthetic is enhanced through a thoughtful color palette combining pure white with vibrant accent colors, creating a fresh and contemporary appearance. Its shell enclosure form enables versatile use in both indoor and outdoor settings, while its stacking capability transforms multiple units into an artistic sculptural arrangement rather than a mere pile of furniture. The design's innovative approach to solving storage and comfort challenges in folding furniture earned it an Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, recognizing its contribution to functional and aesthetic design excellence. The chair's development showcases a successful integration of practical utility with innovative design thinking, employing conventional production techniques in GRF and composite materials through a simplified two-mold manufacturing process that ensures quality and efficiency in production.
