Sava Lounger, Ljubljana
For more comfortable sunbathing by the river.
We designed robust loungers for sunbathing by the river for the Hidrotehnik company. The loungers are made of concrete - the top layer is sanded, and the side layers are chipped. Selected materials imitate large slabs of the gravel conglomerate deposited on the banks of the river. They have a pinched design in the middle, which allows users to lie comfortably on the upper surface, while the lower surface makes it easier to place on uneven terrain. The loungers are heavy enough that they do not need a foundation, do not cause permanent damage to the slopes, and can easily be removed or moved to a new location.
The loungers were first used on the right bank of the Sava River, from the Črnuče Bridge towards Tacen, and are most suitable for urban embankment arrangements, such as Muste Park in the Nove Fužine neighbourhood.
