PARK CHAIR

The bold, asymmetrical design creates a memorable silhouette combining organic and orthogonal elements as a representation of Battery Park. The chair back is shaped and angled to optimize a standard seating position, while a single wing supports an alternate lounge position. Not simply an iconic feature, the single wing allows two opposite chairs to pair together into a loveseat configuration. The search for a match to one’s chair creates opportunities for interaction and exploration throughout the park.

The chair is 100% injection molded HDPE, one of the most commonly recycled plastics available. Inexpensive, durable, and unaffected by moisture, the HDPE is mixed with UV stabilizers to prevent deterioration with colored pigments added to provide the chair’s signature color. The chairs are movable, stackable to five high, and the extensive openings in the seat allow sunlight and water to easily pass to the ground below.
