Floating Elegance: The Lulù Lounge Chair by Unopiù, Designed by Daniel Jarefeldt.
Daniel Jarefeldt, the Swedish designer behind the Lulù, created a chair that feels as light as its name sounds: playful, floating, carefree. Its silhouette is reminiscent of the grand rattan armchairs of the 1950s – those elegant relics of a carefree lifestyle – yet Jarefeldt has translated the form into a contemporary, clean idiom. The result is a chair that exudes an understated, magnetic presence in any garden, on any terrace, and in any interior.
The frame of powder-coated galvanized iron in graphite grey gives the Lulù a solid, durable base – robust enough for continuous outdoor use, yet slender enough never to dominate. The seat hangs freely within the frame: a taut canvas sling in understated dove grey, which yields slightly when sat upon, creating a soft, springy seating experience. Wood and leather details on the upholstery refine the overall look and lend the Lulù a warm, artisanal touch.
What distinguishes the Lulù from other lounge chairs is its duality: although made of metal, it never appears cold or industrial. The floating seat – inspired by classic beach chairs and hammocks – creates the tactile experience of a swing and invites you to pause. Equally at home in a Mediterranean garden or on an urban rooftop lounge, it convinces in both private and upscale commercial environments.
With a seat height of 38 cm and dimensions of W 66 × D 85 × H 105 cm, the Lulù offers deep, relaxed seating comfort that invites you to linger. The combination of a galvanized metal frame and UV-resistant canvas sling makes it weather-resistant and ready for use all year round – indoors and out, summer and winter.
The Lulù lounge chair is part of the exquisite Unopiù range and harmoniously integrates into the world of lounge furniture at Garten-Stuhl. As a single chair or in combination with other elements from the lounge chair assortment, it creates an outdoor atmosphere that is much more than just furniture.
