Matchstick Seat Supports

The Curt Deck Chair is Simple Yet Sturdy

Although the Curt Deck Chair may seem very simple, there are some quirky details that really make it stand out. First of all, the support legs happen to look like giant matchsticks (although try as you might, I'm sure you won't be able to start a fire with them). Secondly, it leans rather precariously on a wall in order to stay upright. Nevertheless, the Curt Deck Chair is very stable and study, providing a great seat to sit back and relax in.

Designed by Fabian Bernhard and Thomas Burkard from studio Bernhard Burkard, the Curt Deck Chair can also be rested against rails. Thanks to its anti-slip coated stand, it will have a safe grip on any surface.
