Carl Hansen & Son Launches Kite-Inspired Outdoor Lounge Collection

Kite-Inspired Outdoor Lounge: Elevate Your Outdoor Living
Outdoor spaces demand style, comfort, and resilience—qualities embodied by the new Kite-Inspired Outdoor Lounge collection. Drawing inspiration from kite structures, this modular series blends clean lines with handcrafted details. Consequently, it transforms patios into inviting retreats, perfect for sunny afternoons or tranquil evenings.
Collaboration and Design Philosophy
Carl Hansen & Son partnered with Austrian design trio EOOS to expand their acclaimed Embrace series. Following the successful Embrace Outdoor Dining Series, they now present lounge furniture designed for alfresco relaxation. Knud Erik Hansen, CEO of Carl Hansen & Son, explains that EOOS brings poetic ingenuity while honoring the brand’s heritage. Together, they solve design challenges in ways unmistakably EOOS yet deeply Carl Hansen & Son.
Handcrafted Comfort with Modular Flexibility
The heart of this kite-inspired outdoor lounge series lies in its luxurious Embrace Outdoor Lounge Sofa. Artisans hand-weave each backrest from flat rope over six hours, ensuring unparalleled quality. Moreover, seven modular components allow endless configurations—whether corner sofa, standalone chaise, or intimate loveseat. Additionally, six textile colorways let you personalize your outdoor retreat to match any decor.
Sustainable, Removable Design
Teak, chosen for its natural durability, crafts both structure and integrated wooden tables. Importantly, each component detaches easily, simplifying repairs or replacements. As a result, this Kite-Inspired Outdoor Lounge remains timeless and sustainable, reflecting Carl Hansen & Son’s commitment to longevity and environmental stewardship.
The Kite-Inspired Outdoor Lounge Table
Complementing the seating, the circular Embrace Lounge Table channels kite frame aesthetics. This piece uses untreated FSC-certified teak, designed to develop a beautiful patina over time. Remarkably, 43 teak segments interlock to form a daisy-like pattern, highlighting the same discipline applied to kite structures and their cables.
Weather-Ready Materials
Both sofa and table withstand varying climates thanks to weather-resistant rope and naturally robust teak. Thus, the collection promises enduring performance alongside its sculptural elegance. Furthermore, removable textiles and natural finishes simplify upkeep, ensuring your outdoor lounge remains pristine year after year.
Bringing It All Together
From modular seating to sculptural tables, the Kite-Inspired Outdoor Lounge series redefines what outdoor furniture can be. Transition seamlessly from sunlit lounging to twilight gatherings, enjoying refined comfort in any setting. With its blend of craftsmanship, sustainability, and poetic design, this collection elevates outdoor living to new heights.
