Fritz Hansen Pelagus Lounge Chair

The Pelagus chair is crafted from untreated, FSC-certified teak. Left outdoors, the wood will naturally weather from its original golden-brown tone to a silvery-grey patina over time, which is a characteristic of high-quality teak.

No, the chair is designed for straightforward assembly. All necessary hardware and instructions are included, and it can typically be put together by one person in a short amount of time.

For the teak, simply wipe it down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove debris. The sling fabric is durable and weather-resistant; it can be cleaned with a gentle brush and a solution of mild soap and water, then rinsed and air-dried.

The sling seat is ergonomically angled and comfortable enough for casual lounging on its own. However, the optional quick-dry foam cushion is recommended if you plan on using the chair for extended periods or prefer a softer seating experience.

Yes, the chair is built with weather-resistant materials specifically for outdoor use. While it is durable enough to withstand the elements, using a furniture cover during harsh winter months or extended periods of non-use will help preserve the wood's finish and longevity.
