Ralph Rapson liked to sketch and he was quite fond of dreaming-up furniture. With this whim of a Bar Cart one can easily picture Ralph with an ice filled low ball glass floating beside him while he dreamt up a rolling bar where he could mix up the next. As all our Rapson works, staying true to the drawing is crucial to us, and we think Ralph would have liked the function and look found in this first ever Rapson Bar Cart. Quench any whim with Loll’s Rapson Bar Cart and the entire Rapson Collection. Designed by Ralph Rapson with Toby Rapson for Loll Designs.
Going through the impeccable furniture sketches of midcentury architect Ralph Rapson could possibly be one of the best ways to spend a cold winter afternoon in Minnesota. We found his Cave Chair illustration and immediately thought it would be a great collaboration piece that fit the aesthetic of Loll's modern outdoor furniture. Ralph originally conceived this chair in 1943 as plywood with a cushion, but it was never actually produced. Part of Loll's Rapson® Collection, this perfectly oversized, futuristic, comfortable and fun, modern Cave Chair will induce hours of conversation – whether you're sitting in it or just walking by. Named after the earth-excavated Cave House that Ralph designed with Dave Runnells in 1939, it, too, was never built.
Ralph liked to sketch furniture as much as buildings and often his furniture drawings were just filler for a room scene in a much larger context. While plying the leaden waves of the sea of Ralph’s sketches, we spotted this cocktail table and the accompanying side table. Staying true to the drawing is crucial to us, and we think we got these two just as Ralph would have liked them. Both these mid-century tables will work superbly with the Rapson® Collection but they are strong enough to stand alone. Designed by and made under license of Ralph Rapson with Toby Rapson for Loll Designs.
Loll Designs’ Rapson® Collection, including this high-back patio chair, honors midcentury architect Ralph Rapson. Loll Designs worked with Ralph’s son Toby to create an eco-friendly version of the Rapid Rocker, originally built in the 1940s. This resin patio chair is made in the U.S.A. with recycled materials.
This modern bungalow birdhouse is fit for two families. Part of the Rapson® Collection, this avian home is based on an actual sketch by midcentury architect Ralph Rapson. The birdhouse resembles Hope Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, which Rapson designed and built in 1971.
This mid-century modern outdoor ottoman is designed to fit perfectly with any member of the Rapson® Collection. Made with recycled materials, the Rapson® Ottoman gives you another reason to put your feet up and feel good about it.
A collaboration between Loll Designs and Toby Rapson, son of mid-century architect Ralph Rapson, the Rapson® Outdoor Rocking Chair is a modern version of the Rapid Rocker. This outdoor lounge chair is part of the Rapson® Collection. Made in the U.S.A. from recycled plastic, Rapson® Rocker Patio Chairs, including this rocking high back version, honor Ralph’s original design using material and manufacturing not available when originally designed.
