Kalon Studios Material Studies Rugosa Chair

The Material Studies Rugosa Lounge Chair is an indoor-outdoor chair made from powder-coated aluminum and GreenGuard Certified, outdoor-rated textiles. The elegant, pared down silhouettes of Rugosa’s original designs have been adapted in slender, reflective metal. A vibrant palette, including oxblood, lapis and lime white, both celebrate and contrast the textures and hues of the natural landscape. Designed to ensure rugged durability in a variety of climates including the seaside and desert, and equally at home in interior spaces, these pieces exude a joyful sophistication.

The Material Studies Series is an exploration of a material’s influence on design and space. In this first chapter, Rugosa has been translated into vibrant powder-coated aluminum. Originally released in 2020, this suite of furniture was crafted in sustainably harvested Western Sugar Pine. While this collection’s material choice honors and evolves the spirit of the living room, these new pieces embrace the exterior elements.
