We used just the right amount of outdoor rope with a metal frame. The rope dining chair doesn’t have the same modernist spirit as the Basket but it’s familiar enough that, when you get close, it stirs a memory and makes you feel at home. That’s what it was, more or less—an object of memory. The rope dining chair consists of a basket with large backrest cushions. Seen from the side and back it has that modernist look.

The braiding is traditional, your classic outdoor fibre. I fancied something really traditional, something a bit modernist, relaxed in the way we treated the fibre. And the rope chair, the chair with its classic braiding and baskets, it’s captivating.
