Jessica Konawicz, the designer, comments:
I aimed to design a lounge chair that is unique and beautiful, made of a single material that is renewable and biodegradable, is easily and efficiently manufactured, addresses the way people relax, and utilizes stacking for transportation.
Pandanus’s name and form were inspired by the leaves and fruit of the Pandanus Tree. The spirals created by the leaves reminded me of chairs stacked on top of one another. The fruit looks like little pods, which are curvaceous and colorful. By tracing over the fruit I found the most intriguing shapes. The challenge was to turn one shape into a form, which would be relaxing for a person to sit on. This lounge chair is not intended to fall asleep in rather for actively relaxing, meaning the user would be engaged in some activity like reading, listening to music, or having coffee with friends.
My goals for the chair were derived from the idea of making it sustainable in multiple ways,from the cellulose based plastic material, which is renewable and biodegradable, to the low energy manufacturing process, and the ability for the chair to stack to optimize space for storage and transportation.

Imagine what it would feel like to lie down and relax in your hammock where you can ponder what books to read or decide whether or not to take a nap. You decide to prepare for such a sweet moment. However, just as you do, the rain starts to pour down like crazy as you try to set up your hammock in your backyard.
This situation does not bode well for the relaxing experience just described. Therefore, it is a good thing that the indoor hammock chair has been invented. Basically, the indoor hammock chair is as good as any hammock with the added bonus of the fact that this hammock chair could actually be set up inside the quiet confines of your home.
This indoor hammock chair is the kind of furniture that you would most likely take with you anywhere you go, for it is made of a durable and lasting material that can withstand even the harsh elements of the great outdoors. This unique hammock chair is made to be very light in weight so as to be portable and easy to use.
People who own indoor hammock chairs have used this furniture for relaxing, or even as an added aesthetic addition to their homes, gardens, and backyards, thus giving the indoor hammock chair two functions at the same time. Indoor hammock chairs also serve an ergonomic purpose by serving as a venue for thawing away your stress with the serene kind of relaxation.
The indoor hammock chair is perfect for lounging around, curling up with a good book or your favorite comfort food, and using up the hours on an idle weekend. Owning one would make you want to rush home after a tired day at work.
