Dezeen Showroom: designer Tim Rundle worked closely with British brand Morgan to produce Rakino, a low lounge chair with a precision-crafted timber frame.
Rundle describes the Rakino chair as having "an upright, somewhat architectural, attitude" created through the right angles of the frame and detailing brought about by a combination of CNC machining and hand-finishing.
The straight lines of the frame are softened by the slightly bowed back support rail "as if formed by the act of leaning back in the chair".
The New Zealand-born, London-based designer said he created the chair to feel inviting and right for the home while also being suitable for "hard-working" contract environments.
The Rakino collection includes two versions of the lounge chair — one with and one without arms — as well as dining chairs and coffee tables.
The pieces can be ordered in beech, ash, oak or walnut woods, and can be upholstered in a range of fabrics or leathers.
