CTR in one paragraph

The weave is rope worked around a curved hoop, loose enough to see the garden through. Because it stops short of the seat frame the back appears to hang in the air, and that gap is the whole idea of the chair. Up close you can follow where each run of rope turns at the edge of the hoop.

The legs are thin powder-coated metal, splayed a little at the floor, and they take up almost no visual room. A row of CTR armchairs down a long table leaves the view through the terrace open in a way solid-back dining chairs never do.

Three chairs, three heights. The armchair sits at dining height, the bar chair takes a raised outdoor counter, and the lounge chair drops lower with a deeper seat for the end of the evening. All three carry a loose cushion rather than a fixed pad, so the covers come off to wash.

Rope weave takes more sun than it looks like it should, because the color sits inside the fiber and not on the surface of it. Rinse the weave where salt spray reaches, lift the cushions after heavy rain so the undersides dry, and use a soft brush on the rope. A pressure washer will open the weave up.
