The Lentera Lounge Chair

Lentera — Indonesian for "lantern."

A single carved crest leans back like a sail, and from it a fan of natural cord falls to a low, splayed teak frame. Light passes through the weave the way it passes through a paper lantern — the chair reads as a glow rather than a mass. The frame is hand-carved with a soft facet along each outer edge; the cord is strung by hand in two tones, so a quiet horizon line runs where the seat meets the back.
