Tie-Break from richard lampert

Simple lines and an intriguing mix of materials make this outdoor armchair a very special piece of design. This slightly oversized piece of garden furniture combines tennis netting, safety belts and flat-rolled steel in a very unconventional way. A little rough, a bit different: many items of garden furniture require cushions to be comfor-table enough to sit on and can, therefore, only remain outside during periods of good weather.

Not so Tie-Break: the seat is made of tennis netting, with edging made from safety belts. The result is an extremely comfortable outdoor chair that needs no additional cushions and does not have to be taken inside when it’s raining: it can simply stay outside the whole year round, if you treat him carefully. The chair should not stay deeply in mud all the time. And it should be clear that the metal can rust, if the protecting outdoor powder coating is damaged. This sturdy chair that, due to its oversized dimensions has a somewhat ‘caricature’ appearance, is available in black or blue. Tie-Break will also make for an eye-catching indoor piece.
