Bluff and Limbo
These chairs, designed by Hlynur Atlason for Heller, are sculptural organic forms, with swooping contours that comfort a sitter whether outdoors or indoors. They’re made from a recycled plastic polyethylene blend, which resists moisture-related decay and microbial growth, and are available in a choice of six colors.
