Versatile, comfortable, minimalist but more complex on closer inspection. The paradox between minimalism and complexity was what inspired Mendes to create the sunlounger, whose contours are reminiscent of airplanes from the 1940s. A combination of playful shapes, with a touch of charm provided by the front wheels for ease of moving. The lounger has three angles on the backrest, canvas upholstery and a cushion.
Its craftmanship, detailing and comfort are all hallmarks of the Fernando Mendes collection.
