Description: This lounge seat is inspired by the Filipino traditional boat called "Balangay". Half of the boat is taken for inspiration.
The Balangay or Butuan boat is a plank boat adjoined by a carved-out plank edged through pins and dowels. It was first mentioned in the 16th century in the Chronicles of Pigafetta, and is known as the oldest watercraft found in the Philippines. It is the first wooden craft excavated in Southeast Asia and is evidence of Filipino craftsmanship and their seamanship skills during pre-colonial times.
