About this asset

Designed with a woven string seat and tubular metal frame, this tropical cord armchair Revit family suits shaded patios and outdoor terraces. Modelled after classic Brazilian cord seating, this armchair features a lightweight tubular steel framework supporting a continuous seat and high backrest wound in fine plastic wire cord. Tightly stretched horizontal cords span the inner perimeter to provide resilient, ventilated support, while the outer tubular rails and armrests are tightly wrapped in matching red string. The grey metal base extends into four canted tubular legs with a cross-brace beneath the seat pan, providing stable footing. Crisp geometric line work highlights the distinctive cord spacing and wrapped construction throughout.

The download is a 2.4 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this native RFA file directly into your Revit project environment and position it onto floor levels, slabs, or finished exterior decking. The model populates cleanly in furniture schedules with accurate category tagging. For photorealistic presentation in Enscape, Twinmotion, or V-Ray, material channels for the tubular metal frame and string winding can be calibrated to capture specular highlights along the woven cord geometry.

Conceived for tropical residential architecture, boutique hospitality schemes, and covered outdoor spaces, this piece fits veranda arrangements, pool decks, and relaxed cafe terraces. It pairs naturally with timber dining tables, raw concrete surfaces, and lush potted tropical foliage. Visualisers and interior architects frequently search for this typological asset under Brazilian wire chair, tropical cord lounge, spool armchair, and ventilated outdoor patio seating.
