Collaborating with Article, a new, unconventional furniture company that focuses on simplicity and efficiency, offering modern designs at a fair price point.

Our design group is collaborating with Article to design a lounge chair that is suitable primarily for outdoor use, but with the ability to successfully transition indoors. It should function well on a patio or in a living room. The chair must withstand all weather elements in North America. It should be designed so it can be mass-produced in high volume, and it must have a wood component in its design materials.
