About the collection

An adjustable teak sunbed without visible hinges

Riviera is the sunbed counterpart to Tradition, also drawn by Povl B. Eskildsen, also cut from full-thickness FSC™ teak. The bed runs on two slatted teak skid bases, with a five-position backrest mechanism concealed inside the side rail; the pivot turns on a stainless A4 axle, and there are no exposed hinges or castors at all. The piece is supplied untreated and silvers in one season; the optional cushion is upholstered in the same weather-tested fabrics as the rest of the lounge programme. Two-pack pricing is available and is the way most poolside and rooftop projects specify it.

About the Riviera collection by Skagerak by Fritz Hansen

The Riviera lounge · sunbed sits within Skagerak by Fritz Hansen's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Skagerak by Fritz Hansen has held as a Danish design house acquired by Fritz Hansen in 2021, bringing the Skagerak teak tradition into the Fritz Hansen archive. Manufactured at Hovedgård, Denmark, Denmark, since Skagerak by Fritz Hansen was established in 1976. Riviera is produced in FSC-certified teak from Indonesian plantations and powder-coated steel as part of Skagerak by Fritz Hansen's premium Danish FSC teak outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Skagerak by Fritz Hansen's in-house design team.

Material and construction notes

Skagerak by Fritz Hansen's lounge · sunbed pieces are built around FSC-certified teak from Indonesian plantations and powder-coated steel. For US trade specifiers, this means Riviera carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Skagerak by Fritz Hansen catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.

Care, warranty, and US service life

Skagerak by Fritz Hansen specifies FSC teak that silvers naturally within 12-18 months of US outdoor exposure. No sealing is required; annual cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap is the only maintenance. Steel components are powder-coated to marine grade. Skagerak carries a 10-year structural warranty on teak and 5 years on powder-coated steel. US service life of the teak collections is typically 30-40 years with annual cleaning; the Fritz Hansen continuity has reinforced the catalog's contract specification.
