The Sadie Indoor/Outdoor Chair by Joey Ruiter is Versatile

— May 29, 2014 — Art & Design
Grand Rapids Chair Company, a Michigan-based furniture manufacturer teams up with designer Joey Ruiter for their first indoor/outdoor seating and table collection.

Presented at NeoCon 2014, the Sadie collection embodies the designer's minimalist aesthetic that fuses clean forms with practicality and comfort. The modern chair is made out of forged steel and wooden materials that are fused together elegantly.

Joey Ruiter's design is available in two finishes, a bold red and a dark forest green that are weather-proof and durable. Believing that ‘products should always be as practical as they are beautiful,’ Ruiter creates a versatile home decor piece that can be displayed both inside and outdoors. Showcase the piece in a modern dining room or poolside within a sleek patio space.
