FLOGER: The Folding and Stacking Lounge Chair

A Unique and Innovative Design by Hakan Gürsu

Floger draws inspiration from the beautiful form of a seashell, creating a folding and stacking lounge chair that combines functionality with a unique aesthetic.

Floger, designed by Hakan Gürsu, is not your ordinary folding chair. Its compact form allows for easy storage, making it ideal for small spaces. What sets Floger apart is its unique shape, which provides enhanced comfort by creating a contoured mold that fits the shape of the user. This innovative design offers a fresh perspective on stacking chairs, forming attractive stacks that resemble a playful sculpture rather than a pile of chairs.

The combination of pure white and bright colors further enhances the attractive look of Floger, emphasizing its fresh spirit. The chair's shell enclosure form enables it to be used both indoors and outdoors, making it versatile for various settings and environments.

Floger is made using GRF (Glass Reinforced Fiber) for its body material, while the legs are conical tubes with ABS shoes. The inner body form is shaped using latex and covered with textile. The production process utilizes conventional techniques in GRF and composite types, making it efficient and cost-effective. With just two simple and unique molds, Floger can be produced with high quality and precision.

The technical specifications of Floger are as follows: 820mm x 790 mm (670 mm in folded state) x 870 mm (610 mm in folded state). These dimensions ensure that the chair is both comfortable and compact, making it suitable for various spaces and situations.

Floger has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2011 in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Floger's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contribute to a better world, providing fulfillment and positive feelings to its users.
