Skargaarden KOSTER Garden chair open back

Koster is a teak and dark gray rope garden chair with open back.‎ Koster is a new member of the Skargaarden family.‎ Now, a chair goes through a lot before even becoming a chair.‎ It all starts with an idea of the chair, manifested in countless, rejected, sketches.‎ Here, time and patience is crucial.‎ Eventually, the initial idea has found its true manifestation.‎ Next phase is building prototypes and mockups.‎ Theory needs to be turned into practice.‎ Sadly, this is where most ideas get rejected.‎ The Koster chair made it though.‎ Next step is a skilled woodworker that makes an production prototype of the chair that will test it – thoroughly.‎ More than 50.‎000 repeats of monotonous static seat and backrest durability tests, followed by heavy load tests.‎ Koster passed the tests.‎ And a standard chair for indoor use in peoples’ homes would have been ready for production.‎ But Skargaarden intends for Koster to not only be that, but to be for professional use in hotels and restaurants as well.‎ So that means they made it endure even further testing, to meet professional demands and standards.‎ Also, since it’s an outdoor chair, Koster needs to deal with the elements as well.‎ Rain, sunshine, snow, winds.‎ Freezing winter nights and hot summer days.‎ So they put the Koster chair on the lawn and left it there for eighteen months.‎ This is not how people usually treat their garden furniture, but they’re not “people”.‎ They then inspected the chair.‎ The UV resistant rope has the exact same color, two winters and one summer later.‎ The teak has turned beautifully silver grey.‎ And that’s how it will keep looking for many years to come.‎ Skargaarden designed the Koster chair for design interested people to buy, and keep for a long time.‎ And even pass them on to their children one day.‎ Further info from manufacturer on KOSTER Skargaarden
