or Call to Order

Designed in 1997 for Carl Hansen and Son, the MG501 Cuba Chair by Morten Gøttler takes extra seating to a new level. It features a solid oak frame with securely woven cotton paper-cord or natural webbing. The Cuba chair provides excel­lent support as the design gently follows the body’s contours. This folding lounge chair is ideal as an extra or perma­nent fixture. Its light and fold­able frame can easily be hung on a wall or placed on a floor stand for conve­nient storage. With its ideal balance of form and func­tion, the Cuba chair captures all Gøttler is known for – his clean, uncom­pli­cated aesthetic and well-thought-out form, as well as offer­ing exquis­ite comfort and close atten­tion to detail.
