A lounge chair that bends the rules—literally. Inspired by Martin Eisler’s mid-century original, this sculptural silhouette invites you to lean, recline, and shift without ever losing support. Its ingenious construction allows the seat to transform between upright and semi-reclined positions, adapting effortlessly to the sitter’s mood. Casual yet dynamic, it embodies a rare balance of tradition, creativity, and intuitive design—an armchair as fluid as the life lived around it.

Powder-Coated Steel Frame
Lightweight yet strong, the steel frame is finished with a durable powder coat that anchors the floating design.

High-Resilience Foam Padding
Supportive cushioning that balances firmness with comfort for everyday use.

Cotton-Linen or Bouclé Upholstery
Available in custom-printed cotton-linen or performance bouclé, each offering distinct texture and character.

A mid-century classic reimagined, this chair balances playful form with engineered ease—inviting you to lounge, lean, and linger.
