How to recognize an original Acapulco Chair
February 27, 2023The Original Acapulco Chair is an absolute classic and a statement piece in every room or on every terrace. But how do you know if it's real? Here are the top six characteristics to look out for:
Design: The design look of the Original Acapulco Chair is unmistakable. The cords are stretched at an open distance from each other on the seat and backrest, giving the chair an airy and light character. The cords should not be too close together, especially on the sides. This design feature is one of the distinguishing features of the original.
Shape: The original Acapulco Chair has a characteristic, pear-shaped and slightly curved shape that stands out from the replicas. The original is not in the top view of the viewing bowl around. The curved lines and the organic shape give it a special aesthetic.
Comfort: A key feature of the Original Acapulco Chair is its comfort. When you sit on the chair, your head should rest in the seat shell, which allows for comfortable and relaxed sitting. Due to the elastic and durable materials and the so-called memory (memory cord) of the cords, the chair retains its shape and comfort even after prolonged use and heavy loads.
Quality: The materials of the Original Acapulco Chair are of the highest quality. Galvanized steel and memory cords make the chair very durable and resistant to the elements. In addition, the original Acapulco armchair is UV resistant. All these features are important if you want to place the chair outdoors on the patio or in the garden.
Aesthetics: The Original Acapulco Chair is an elegant piece of furniture that impresses with its organic shape and design elements. It blends seamlessly into modern or vintage-inspired furnishing styles and gives every room a touch of style and elegance.
Sustainable and fair production: Our Acapulco Chair stands for fair trade and social responsibility. Our employees in Mexico not only earn the minimum wage, but also receive a significantly higher wage than average. Occupational health and safety regulations such as minimum age and benefits are strictly observed. We are committed to equality by giving women and men the same wages. Regular visits and an exchange with the factory in Mexico ensure transparent cooperation. We also help protect the environment by using a large proportion of recycled plastic in our models and by using solar energy to power the factory. We value sustainability and longevity through the use of high quality materials and careful manufacture of our Original Acapulco Chairs.
The lounge chair is based on the original from the mid-century years of the town of Acapulco and is made in a factory in Mexico that has decades of expertise in manufacturing the Mexico chair.
All in all, the Original Acapulco Chair is a timeless and high-quality piece of furniture that impresses with its unique aesthetics and comfort. If you pay attention to these six characteristics, you can be sure that you are holding a real original in your hands.
Although the Acapulco Chair has been produced in numerous copies and variations over the years, the original Acapulco Chair by Acapulco Design remains incomparable. Its unique combination of design, comfort, quality, aesthetics and sustainable production makes it a timeless classic.
