Taking its name from the Spanish word for lazy or leisurely, the Gandula collection of outdoor seating by Oiside updates the traditional foldable deckchair – a ubiquitous sight in the Mediterranean – with durable materials and a streamlined design.
Lightweight yet structurally sound, the chairs replace the commonly used canvas sling with high-tech thermo-sealed mesh fabric, which breathes easily and allows air to pass through without causing the “sail-effect” that can happen in windy conditions. The slender frame is made from either aluminum (in 10 powder-coated colourways and finishes) or iroko wood (treated with a water-based varnish) or a custom combination of the two. All components are hardy enough to be left outdoors permanently.
Available as single or double seats, the deckchairs feature a reclining headrest that can be locked in four different positions; an integrated lock system prevents the chairs from suddenly snapping shut.
The collection also includes a coordinating side table and a supported wall stand that can store up to four deckchairs within a compact footprint. Eight colourways are available for the sling, ranging from bright yellow and red to muted green and grey and more.
