The typology of a traditional deck-chair is extended with a removable sunshade. The construction of the sunshade is a wooden frame similar to the frame of back legs, resulting in a strong X form, when the sunshade is open. The weight of the wooden cylinder is pulling the fabric of the sunshade to the ground when the user pushes the sunshade frame backwards. Thus any mechanism needed to prevent the sunshade fabric from falling on the user is avoided.

The Nomad Light Fire goes back a little further than last summer, as Maarten De Ceulaer was inspired by the oldest form of light mankind was ever able to use and manipulate.
