Cyclone Lounger

Part of the Smithsonian Renwick Gallery's permanent collection, the Cyclone Lounger is inspired by Coney Island's famous Cyclone coaster. The lounger's undulating wood seat and its crisp laser-cut metal base emulate the historic coaster's wood track and steel frame design. Capturing the physical stability and the dynamic energy of the coaster, the Cyclone Lounger represents the intersection of Brooklyn's living history with modern narrative design. 

The Coney Island Collection was originally crafted from reclaimed wood salvaged from the original iconic boardwalk. Over the years, pieces from the Coney Island Collection have been established as icons of New American Design, details of which are reflected on the Boardwalk Conference Table.
