Conical Timber Daybeds

The 'Hut' Outdoor Lounge Bed Has a Functional Yet Elegant Design

— July 29, 2020 — Art & Design
The 'Hut' outdoor lounge bed is an ultra-modern and comfortable furniture solution for exterior spaces that will provide homeowners with a place to relax when enjoying warm weather. The furniture piece is the design work of architect Marco Lavit for Ethimo and has a conical construction that is achieved using strong Siberian larch to give it a wigwam-like look. A series of metal inserts and details help provide additional support, while soft cushions make the piece more comfortable for long-term use.

The 'Hut' outdoor lounge bed was explained further by Lavit who said, "Inviting and comfortable, its wooden structure looks skywards, protecting like a shell and becoming a privileged point of view, exclusive and private. The soft cushions on the seating welcome the body in a soothing embrace. A habitat where the alternating rhythm of the slats creates gaps that filter perception of this space, in a natural dialogue between inside and out."
