Self-taught designer and architect Morten Gøttler tipped his hat to previous Danish design masters as he explored the possibility of elevating the common folding chair for the furniture specialists at Carl Hansen & Søn. He unveiled his solution in 1997 with the debut of the MG501 Cuba Chair — an elegant, low-slung seat comprised of two sweeping gestures: one that runs from leg to seat and the other from leg to back. Available in traditional paper cord, cotton webbing, or rope, the MG501 Outdoor Cuba Chair adds an extra dose of versatility with its teak frame and outdoor-grade roping—rendering a piece that is equally at home indoors and out. Whether you opt for the original chair in cotton webbing, the traditional paper cord version, or the more durable outdoor Cuba chair, these foldable pieces travel with ease—adding a touch of Scandinavian charm to any space they adorn.
