Why do lawn or beach loungers have to be loud and bright? To us, this sleek number from Amsterdam design collective It's All About RoMI looks just right. And they've designed a gently priced lantern and little aluminum barbecue to match...
This would work just as well on a chic balcony -- or even indoors once the sun goes in.

Personally, I'd prefer a bright color on the lounger to help reflect the sun's rays rather then absorb them.
Ditto, Doris.
They carry these same padded loungers in Ikea's summer line, in black, orange, green, and blue I think. They're $20.
Imagine the heat radiating from these black loungers after they have been in the sun for a couple of hours. Ouch.
seriously, Beng! talk about design missing the point again.
With the late weather in Alberta... we'll take all the heat radiation we can get!
It looks portable, not chic. Looks like a companion to those camping chairs whose legs squish together and you carry in a bag.
As for bright colors being loud, I find that in bright sunshine, my eyes get burned out and even bright colors are perceived as more washed out. So textiles and furnishings may be "bright," but not loud.
I love my cheap IKEA version of this - several of my friends have tried to steal it from me. And I agree with ljbmonkey - in bright son the bright blue color I have doesn't look loud at all.
Sulako and Egged, how can I find these at Ikea? I've been searching on their website but I don't see them! They look perfect for people who don't have a lot of extra room to store bulky beach chairs all winter...
Amsterdam has mild summers, hence the black.
yeah i can't find it in ikea either! HELP! they seem so useful!!
