Milan 2013: British designer Jasper Morrison has added a folding armchair to his Park Life collection of outdoor furniture for Spanish design brand Kettal.
Like the other pieces in the Park Life range, launched last year for Kettal, the armchair has an aluminium frame that is both lightweight and durable.
Jasper Morrison designed the chair with a cross-bracing hinge beneath the seat, which allows it to fold flat for easy storage.
The seat and backrest are made from porotex, a fabric made of PVC-coated polyester.
Morrison presented the new Park Life chair at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan last week alongside Village, another outdoor chair for Kettal. See more furniture by Kettal on Dezeen.
The designer also presented a chair inspired by camping furniture for Italian brand Mattiazzi. See more design by Jasper Morrison on Dezeen, including the iconic 1986 Side Table and the 2007 Crate Series.

Here's a bit of information from the brand:
Park Life is a complete family of furniture for outdoors, whose clean cut profile is adaptable to a wide range of different situations. Lightweight, yet extremely durable, it’s easily stacked for transport or winter storage and its technical sophistication and careful consideration of ergonomics besides a lot of care over how it looks are all intended to ensure a long life, both structurally and visually.
