WHITE ARMCHAIR BY RACHEL & BENOIT CONVERS

There are outdoor chairs built for terraces. There are garden chairs built for lawns. And then there is WHITE ARMCHAIR BY RACHEL & BENOIT CONVERS— which, in matte white, makes its ambitions entirely clear. Placed at the shoreline, on a sun-bleached deck, beside a pool that reflects the sky, or on a coastal terrace where the light comes in low and hard and changes every hour, Manta White reads with the confidence of a piece that was designed for exactly this and nothing less.

Designed by Rachel & Benoît Convers and manufactured in France, WHITE ARMCHAIR BY RACHEL & BENOIT CONVERSis a wide, dramatically curved shell seat built from densely spaced parallel High Pressure Laminate slats — dozens of precisely cut fins sweeping continuously from shoulder to seat to backrest in a ribbed form that evokes the body of a manta ray, the cross-section of a wave, or the hull of something that arrived from naval architecture and found furniture more interesting. In matte white, the slatted surface catches coastal light with extraordinary sensitivity — the gaps between slats filling with moving shadow as the sun shifts, the shell brightening under noon light and warming to a soft ivory as the afternoon deepens toward golden hour.

The WHITE ARMCHAIR BY RACHEL & BENOIT CONVERS is its secret reveal. From the front, you see the cupped reclined seat. From behind — as this image shows — you see the full architectural intention: a sweeping shell back that rises in a single continuous form, the slats fanning outward at the crown like the trailing edge of something in motion, held aloft by four angled legs cross-braced at the base with the same clean confidence throughout.

High Pressure Laminate is the right material for water-adjacent living in a way that timber, rattan, and powder-coated steel are not. WHITE ARMCHAIR BY RACHEL & BENOIT CONVERSis fully water resistant — not splash-tolerant, not weather-treated, but structurally impervious to moisture — as well as heat resistant and UV stable, maintaining its white finish across seasons without the yellowing, fading, or surface degradation that lesser outdoor materials concede to sun and salt air. At 10kg, it repositions easily across a terrace, pool deck, or garden configuration while feeling, once placed, like it was never anywhere else.

In matte white, WHITE ARMCHAIR BY RACHEL & BENOIT CONVERS belongs at the coast, beside the pool, on a rooftop, against pale stone, bleached timber, or open sky. It is the outdoor chair that knows where it wants to be. You simply provide the location.

Made in France. Built for water. Designed like light.
