On Belay Lounge Chair
On Belay Lounge Chair
On Belay repurposes retired climbing ropes as key structural and tactile elements in a lounge chair. Though no longer safe for climbing, these ropes retain strength and flexibility, woven into the seat and backrest to provide adaptive support. The design extends the materials lifecycle, combining traditional joinery and weaving techniques to create durable, comfortable seating. It exemplifies sustainable innovation by transforming climbing gear into refined, eco conscious furniture that honors craftsmanship, resilience, and a deep respect for material heritage.
