Aspen Club Sofa Chair - Lagoon - Shell

The Aspen Club Sofa Chair in Lagoon is upholstered in 100% acrylic melange with removable covers, on a powdercoated aluminium frame. The back stands 720mm high with arms at 620mm. Cushions are foam wrapped in a waterproof layer.

Removable covers are the feature to notice. Most outdoor upholstery is fixed, which means a stain is permanent and a full cushion has to be replaced; covers that come off can be washed, and eventually recovered, which changes how long the chair stays presentable.

The waterproof wrap around the foam is the other half of that system. Outdoor cushions fail when water gets into the core and stays there, so wrapping the foam before covering it is what stops a cushion going sour after a wet week. Acrylic melange resists fading at the fibre, and aluminium does not rust, so the three parts of this chair are specified consistently for weather rather than one good component carrying two weak ones.
