Strand Korb

We have a small series here about Beach Chairs, mainly those moderately reclining models with a high back that can protect you against wind and a bit of rain as well. I’ve devoted one post exclusively to the Strand Korb: The High Back Beach Chairs (Strandkorf or StrandKorb) of Bartelmann.

Floriade

The Floriade is a one in ten year event in the Netherlands where all horticulture is brought together in a huge fair where the horticulture industry of The Netherlands and from abroad presents itself to the general public. It is a real spectacle. It still lasts until October 7, 2012.

The Floriade Park covers 66 hectares and encompasses 5 unique themed worlds separated by wooded areas. Each world has its own decor, programme and activities. Worlds in which you’ll see, feel and experience nature in a totally different way each time.

I’ve visited it in June and found this reasonably priced (€ 1,500) Black Strand Korb from modern materials rather than the willowy ones from the past. The distributor wrongfully named it a Beach House.

Nest Lounge Chair by Autoban

Turkish design studio Autoban has a strange name. Their logo is the German sign for Motorway (Autobahn). However without the ‘h’ it could mean Ban the Car. Am curious whether it is on purpose. Anyway they have an ample portfolio of seating furniture among which this nest lounge chair. Another variation on the High Back Beach chair I’m a particular fan of.
