Chelsea Lounge Chair Luxe

Mario Ruiz is a Spanish industrial designer based in Barcelona, widely recognised for his work across furniture, lighting, and product design for leading European brands. His studio is known for a restrained, functional approach in which proportion, material, and detail carry the weight of the design rather than ornament. Ruiz's work has been recognised with numerous international awards and is held in permanent design collections.

For Danao, Ruiz brings a disciplined European sensibility to the brand's outdoor programme. The Chelsea collection is a study in versatility, pairing marine grade aluminium, Batyline sling, and All Weather Teak across lounge, dining, bar, and relaxation pieces so that a single material language can carry an entire outdoor space. Every detail is resolved for comfort, durability, and the kind of timeless presence that belongs equally in a private residence or a refined hotel setting.
