The furniture collection consists of a total of six pieces including a loveseat side chair, sofa, chaise, coffee table and side table, which all show off vibrant hues and joyful aesthetics. The furniture gets its name from the beach located in Ventura, California that also serves as inspiration for the versatile collection. The various pieces are crafted with a mix of aluminum, neoprene, fiberglass and vinyl. The LAUN x Chet Architecture Mondos collection is being debuted at NYCxDesign 2023 and will be available via LAUN and [Salon Gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chop-collection) websites starting May 20, 2023.
