ABOUT THE HUMPBACK WHALE.
Humpback Whales are Relaxed, Calm & Serene creatures.
Their size is their main advantage, and adds to their laid-back nature.
They are the biggest mammal known and are extremely aware of that fact.
Whales are playful, empathetic and compassionate.

Cetacea
/noun/ : ZOOLOGY {latin}
An order of marine mammals that comprises the whales, dolphins, and porpoises.
Ergonomics inspired by Whale Spine.
Concrete textured Plastic Body.
Clear Plastic Backing.
Cloth Cushioning.
Texture Inspired by Whale.
A lounge chair is a product made for relaxation. It promotes calmness and serenity, both of these emotions are very synonymous with the nature of a Humpback whale.
“Cetacea” is also a poolside lounge chair, which in itself is an apt reflection of a whale.
This design for a lounge chair is also heftier than most current lounge chairs. This plays into the size factor of a whale.
