Overview
Design by David Salmela, 2012.
Made in the U.S.A. by Loll Designs.
In 2005, Duluth architect David Salmela designed the office for Loll's design/manufacturing facility. And it seemed a natural fit to pair the designer's pragmatic design aesthetic with Loll's all-weather, no-maintenance, responsibly crafted outdoor furniture.
Leave it out year round, hose it off with a garden hose in the spring and enjoy. It's that easy. As with all Loll Furniture, the Taavi Lounge will not fade, warp, rot, require paint or stain or any ongoing maintenance to keep its beautiful appearance so you can spend more time relaxing.
Loll furniture is shipped flat pack to save on costs and resources. Loll has gone to great lengths to make their furniture assembly very simple.
Salmela's Taavi is an inspired low profile lounge perfectly suited to outdoor contemplation. Taavi holds his ground as a solo accent lounger or works well as a handsome partner to Salmela's taller Gladys Lounge. Taavi is made with 280 recycled milk jugs in a structure that is weatherproof, waterproof and endurance-tested. Offered in Cloud White.

Loll Outdoor Furniture Buyers' Guide + FAQs
Are Loll products UV resistant?
All Loll products have a UV inhibitor added when the color pigment is added. There has proven to be very little change in the color of our plastic over time.
What temperature swings can Loll products endure?
Loll products are built to be weatherproof and may be left out year-round in any and all extreme conditions. The melting point of the plastic we use is 270 degrees.
What other elements can Loll furniture withstand?
Our high-density polyethylene material (HDPE, reclaimed primarily from #2 recycled milk jugs) will withstand chlorine and salt water. All fasteners are hidden and we use high-grade stainless steel. If they receive direct exposure, the hidden stainless fasteners may show some surface discoloration but will not breakdown or lose their structure.
Does the material get really hot if it's out in the sun for a long time?
The black furniture will become hot in direct sun but will not retain heat like steel furniture. We have never had a piece returned because it gets "too hot".
Are most of Loll products heavy enough that they won't blow around in the wind?
Yes. The average weight of an Adirondack Chair is approximately 55 pounds.
Are Loll products easy to clean?
Absolutely! Most clean-ups only require water and a brush. Tougher stains may require a power wash or natural citrus-based cleaner.
Is any special maintenance needed on Loll products?
Make sure that when you assemble your Loll furniture you follow all assembly instructions closely. If a product is in a high- use area, occasionally check that all fasteners are completely secure.
What if something on my Loll products is damaged? Do I have to return the entire piece?
If a part of a Loll product gets damaged, because of our unique fastening system it is possible to replace just that specific piece, not the whole product.
