The Thinking Man's Chair collection by Cappellini

Cappellini Thinking Man's Chair is Jasper Morrison's open metal lounge-chair design, distinguished by small drink trays integrated into the armrests.

Tubular supports and flat bars trace the seat and back without upholstered cushions. The Lido version uses AISI 304 stainless steel with a textured powder coating for covered outdoor settings. Both preserve the low sitting position and long side profile, keeping the armrest surfaces within the chair's supporting metal framework.

The pieces. Two in the collection.
