E008 Embrace Outdoor Dining Chair with Cushion
Made by Carl Hansen & Søn
Designed by EOOS
The E008 Embrace is a dialogue between outdoor permanence and indoor sensibility. Designed by the Vienna-based studio EOOS for Carl Hansen & Søn, the chair carries the Danish brand's century-long commitment to joinery craft into the open air, structured around a frame of solid FSC-certified teak left untreated to develop its own patina over seasons.
EOOS approaches furniture as an exercise in empathy, a philosophy they call "poetic analytics." The Embrace form reflects this: a gently enveloping backrest and considered proportions that support the body without imposing on the eye. The silhouette reads as calm and purposeful from every angle.
- Solid, untreated FSC-certified teak frame
- Designed by EOOS, Vienna
- Removable seat cushion included
- Engineered for outdoor durability and long-term use
Teak's natural oils make it well suited to exposed settings, resisting moisture and temperature change without chemical treatment. Over time, the wood moves from its warm honey tone toward a distinguished silver-grey, a surface transformation that speaks to use and weather rather than neglect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the E008 Embrace chair for Carl Hansen & Søn?
The E008 Embrace was designed by EOOS, a Vienna-based design studio known for their concept of 'poetic analytics,' which grounds aesthetic decisions in deep research into human behavior and ergonomics. EOOS has collaborated with Carl Hansen & Søn across several seating designs.
Does untreated teak hold up outdoors long-term?
Teak is one of the most durable hardwoods for outdoor use due to its high natural oil content, which resists moisture, warping, and UV degradation without surface treatment. Left untreated, teak weathers gradually from a warm golden-brown to a silver-grey patina, a change many designers and owners consider part of the material's character.
What does FSC-certified teak mean?
FSC certification indicates that the teak was sourced from forests managed according to the Forest Stewardship Council's environmental and social standards, ensuring responsible harvesting practices and chain-of-custody traceability.
Can the E008 Embrace cushion be left outside?
The cushion is designed for outdoor use and is best stored or covered during prolonged rain or off-season periods to extend its life. Carl Hansen & Søn typically offers cushions in weather-resistant fabrics suited to varying climates.
How does the E008 Embrace fit with other Carl Hansen outdoor pieces?
Carl Hansen & Søn has expanded its outdoor collection with consistent attention to material and proportion, and the E008 is designed to work alongside other pieces in the Embrace series as well as the brand's broader outdoor dining offerings. Its clean geometry and natural teak frame integrate well with both contemporary and heritage-influenced outdoor settings.
