The big innovation of the year at Skagerak is called Ocean. The design of the series is inspired by the thin, clear modern sailing boats and goes back tothe traditional maritime virtues like functionality and flexibility.

Combined with a unusual material choic – stainless steel and shape casted, weather proof special plastic – Ocean gets a distinctive, innovative appearance. The furnitures are for the in- and outside use and pfit into a modern house or a rather conventional ambiente. The whole series includes tables, chairs, a lounge-chair, a sunlounger, a side waggon and a café-table.

The Ocean Chair...

That the chairs are stackable makes them especially adequate for the life in a big city, where never is a lot of space. The flexibility is also underlined that Ocean is made for the in- and outside use. Especially because of its clears design, the chair can change into an elegant chair on the dining table in the house. It is 56cm wide, 58,5cm deep and has a height of 75 cm. As material for the frame they chose stainless steel and for the seating area an UV-proof and weather proof ASA plastic.
