Tidal Lounger
From $1892 AUD inc GST

The Tidal Lounger - a supremely elegant outdoor lounge chair - embodies Australia’s infamous coastline with its flowing curves and lapping lines. Tidal marks ripple up the seat base breaking into lush, rolling curves. Straight edges and tight radii give a nod to decades past.

Inspired by Australia’s surf culture, Trent Jansen applied science to his design by researching wave formations and linear diagrams. Studying the energy and pull of spiralling water spouts as part of the creative process behind the Tidal Lounger – an ultramodern outdoor lounge chair – Jansen’s design intelligence is further evidenced in material selection, form and function.

The sturdy wire frame is expertly crafted into the gently undulating frames of the collection pieces. Tidal is a masterful intersection of raw materiality and a dynamic yet lithe aesthetic.

Upholstered cushioning for seating and lounging promise enduring outdoor comfort.

All Tait pieces are made locally and come with a 5-year warranty.

TIDAL COLLECTION INSPIRATION


Wave Formations

Wave Formations

The Tidal Collection design is based on the formation stages of a wave as it rolls toward the shore: The Tidal Sunlounge is the far out wave that slowly builds beyond the breakers. The Tidal Lounger is a curling wave at the place in the set where surfers usually lurk; and the Tidal Chair is the close-out that breaks on the sand. This collection makes use of the waves at the heart of Australian beachside culture and transforms these ephemeral forms, created by the tide and the sand, into sculptural, functional objects.
