Limbo Chair

Interior Design magazine gave this 20-pound lounge chair its Best of Year nod for outdoor seating in 2023.

Heller CEO John Edelman commissioned Hlynur Atlason to design a chair low and laid-back enough to earn the name Limbo. Made in the USA with a high percentage of recycled post-consumer polyethylene — black carries the highest share — it is 100% recyclable and protected by U.S. Design Patent D1,041,939. It sits beside Atlason's Bluff Chair in the Heller collection.

Common Questions

Can the Limbo Chair stay outside year-round?
Yes. The molded polyethylene is built for indoor-outdoor use in all seasons. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and a mild, bleach-free cleaner after pollen or storms.

Will 20 pounds hold up in wind?
For most patios, yes — and for exposed sites you can add sand through the hidden opening in the base for extra stability without changing the chair's look.

How much of it is recycled?
A high percentage of the polyethylene is post-consumer recycled material; the exact share varies by color, with black containing the most. The whole chair is recyclable at end of life.

Heller +

For over 50 years, Heller has redefined what modern design in plastic can be—industrial in process, sculptural in form, and endlessly sustainable in spirit. Founded in 1971, with its furniture made in the USA, Heller partners with some of the most celebrated names in design—Massimo and Lella Vignelli, Sergio Asti, Mario Bellini, and Frank Gehry, among others—to create bold, enduring pieces that are as collectible as they are functional. Their designs live in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Centre Pompidou, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and remain icons of modern living—equally at home in an urban loft or a sunlit patio.

At Comosum, we’re proud to carry Heller because their values mirror ours: timeless design, radical sustainability, and a commitment to originality. Its pieces are made from recyclable plastic, several of them with recycled post-consumer content, and Heller says it runs a closed-loop recycling program for them. Its Worry Free Plastics™ material is one Heller describes as 100% regenerative and microplastic-free at end of life, and Mario Bellini's chair for Heller won the Compasso d'Oro in 2001. This is furniture made for now, designed for forever, and backed by a vision of modernism that never imitates—only evolves.
