Ipe is called ironwood for a reason, it is dense enough to resist rot, insects and weather without treatment of any kind. The Jensen Innova Trellis Lounge Chair, Ipe Wood, Chocolate is built from 100% FSC-certified Ipe, so the durability does not come at the forest's expense.
Worried about maintaining timber outdoors? You do not have to. Left untreated, the rich chocolate brown ages gracefully to a silver patina. Maintenance here is a choice about appearance, not a requirement for survival.
Worried about joints over decades? Mortise and tenon joinery gives exceptional strength and stability, traditional joinery that gets stronger as timber moves, rather than fasteners that work loose.
An award-winning design by Edi & Paolo Ciani, recipient of the 2023 ICFA Design Excellence Award, at commercial construction quality. A chair built for generations, not seasons.
Imagine sinking into a lounge chair that not only looks stunning but is built to last for generations. The Trellis Lounge Chair is crafted from Ipe timber, a wood so dense and naturally resilient it's often called 'ironwood.' This means it can stand up to harsh outdoor elements without rotting, cracking, or needing constant protection, making it ideal for any climate. The deep chocolate brown will deepen over time, or you can allow it to develop a beautiful, sophisticated silver-grey patina, which many outdoor furniture connoisseurs prefer. The design, with its thoughtful angles and comfortable seat, encourages relaxation without needing extra cushions, simplifying your outdoor setup. Place it poolside, on a spacious patio, or as a distinctive accent in a garden nook.
