westport adirondack chair
Design Thomas Lee, 1903
Recycled high-density polyethylene, 304 grade stainless steel
Made in the USA by Loll Designs
When Loll Designs first set out to make an Adirondack chair it had to be their own version. By their own admission they were just making an iteration of the original Adirondack chair. The Loll Westport Adirondack is an homage to the very original Adirondack chair that inspired over a 100 years of variations crafted from all manner of materials, dimensions, and designs.
The Westport Chair was originally designed by Thomas Lee in 1903 for his summer cottage overlooking Lake Champlain in Westport, NY. The Westport is undeniably the most iconic American outdoor lounge chair and the original design that spawned countless varieties all based on that 11 piece design statement. Lee was motivated to design a comfortable outdoor lounging chair for the purpose of watching summer sunsets over the lake with a drink resting on the arm. (Morning coffee and a newspaper worked wonderfully as well.) Hastily patented in 1905 by Lee's friend and carpenter, Harry Bunnell, the chair was named the Westport Plank Chair and provided winter work for Bunnell's company. The chairs sold well and Bunnell went on to manufacture the chairs for resale and continued to do so for more than 20 years.
The chair has an early modern simplicity and a rustic and craftsman appearance that is still viable today more than 100 years later. As a show of respect to Lee's chair that really started a higher level of outdoor comfort and design, and now more than 10 years into Loll, it was time to honor Lee's chair with a Loll version that stays true to the original. Using recycled plastic instead of knot free clear wood, and incorporating their lock block hidden fastening system, they put forth their contribution to this iconic outdoor chair. Perhaps for the first time in the chairs history there is also added a bottle opener under the right arm to better fit its purpose.
Loll products are made with recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) primarily from milk jugs. Milk jugs are used due to their lack of pigment so Loll's vibrant colors can be created. As Loll material is a post-consumer recycled material, the medium to create the material does inevitably fluctuate. Material color and texture may slightly vary from sheet to sheet and thus product to product may have slight variances. USA made aluminum inserts mated with a 304 grade stainless steel bolt in all joinery. Richlite paper composite is used for structural elements in some pieces. Arbor Wood thermally modified wood can also be found in a select few products. All materials are chosen for their high quality, no maintenance, performance and longevity.
A cable hole can be added to the legs for light-duty securing of furniture, especially when you want to be able to have some movement of the piece (cable not included). The Adirondack Collection is partially made from recycled plastic, which means it's easy to clean and requires no maintenance.
Ships flat-packed with assembly required.
