Japanese industrial designer Kensaku Oshiro, an alum of Lissoni Associati and Barber Osgerby who founded his own Milan-based practice eight years ago, looked to an interesting inspiration source for Grapy: jute bags that farmers use as impromptu lounges during the workday. Despite its somewhat casual look, the beanbag-style outdoor seat is the byproduct of intensive research into ergonomics, softly supporting the body via polystyrene and foam padding. Grapy’s removable technical-fabric cover comes in Marquetry by Sunbrella or Meltemi Texture by Jover Decó, in five hues.
