Ay Papi! Loopita Bonita!!


Victor Aleman, a talented designer from Mexico created this roller coaster type chaise for Kerozene Design. It took more than three years of development and tests and prototypes before it was put in production. Made from a single piece of red oak, the Loopita is covered in high density foam for comfortable seating. The two opposing end points makes for a great floor level chaise.
