We have a rule: if a chair makes you want to reorganize your entire terrace around it, it earns its place here. The Calicut does exactly that. Article built it on a powder-coated aluminum frame wound with tightly woven polypropylene rope — a combination that photographs like something from a boutique hotel in Puglia and holds up to actual seasons. The seat and back cushions are loose and generous, covered in a heavy-duty polyester that keeps its color. What strikes us most is the silhouette — the splayed legs, the open rope back, the way it reads as both architectural and relaxed at the same time. At $499 it sits in a category of one. We’ve seen versions of this chair at $1,800 and above. This is the one we’d actually buy.
