Designed to bridge the gap between high-end aesthetics and practical outdoor furniture, the Sandur chair, designed by Mark Gabbertas for Oasiq, does a brilliant job merging the two. A woven, three-dimensional shape is created with the help of the metal frame providing the essential ergonomic seating function a chair needs. Inspired by nature and undulating sand dunes (hence the name), the chair is a perfect seating addition to your outdoor dining table or lounge seating area.
Mark Gabbertas was born in Yorkshire in 1962 and came to the world of furniture design in a circuitous way having started his working life in advertising before changing career path to train as a cabinet maker. Apprenticed to Codrington Furniture and then with Stemmer and Sharp in the acclaimed Oblique Workshops in Hackney, it was Hackney he chose to found his own design/making studio in 1994. In 2001, he established the Gabbertas Studio in West London to focus on furniture design, before moving the main studio to the Oxfordshire countryside in 2016.
