Böste is located almost as far south as you can get in Sweden. A few hundred meters away is Smygehuks lighthouse, the absolute southern tip. Böste is a small village, right by the sea. Most of the houses are whitewashed nineteenth-century houses with thatched roofs. The beach picks up where the houses end. The Böste chair is a contemporary, Scandinavian interpretation of the classic Adirondack chair. This first appeared in Adirondack, on the border between the state of New York and Vermont, about a hundred years ago.Why is this chair reminiscent of Böste? Because much of what is found around Lake Champlain in the Adirondacks is also found on the Baltic coast.
For that reason we made the chair with soft beaches, hard rock outcrops, grass between the toes, the edge of the pool or a spacious roof terrace in mind. An homage to the original Westport chair, in a durable, refined version in stainless steel and durable FSC-labeled teak. Like a sea-cut stone, the armchair has rounded edges and soft shapes. Böste can be left outside all year round and will become a beautiful silver gray over the years. The armrests are wide enough to work extra as small tables for a wine glass, a nut bowl or a book.
