When you buy a chaise longue you also bring home a piece of History. A design chaise longue accords you a great degree of relaxation while bearing an important name.
Chaise longue: an antique name for a modern piece of furniture; an antique furniture with a modern look.
Chaise longue history finds its origin in the unforgettable lines of antique seats, and if we look carefully we can still notice them in some empty corners of antique residences, memories of past ages.
I wonder how many things a chaise longue had seen during its history; how many faces it carefully observed, how many bodies it welcomed and how many love affairs it concealed or, at the contrary, revealed. A direct offspring of ottomans and asymmetric veilleuse from French 18th Century, niece of fainting sofas from the beginning of the 19th Century, sister of the dormeuse, the chaise longue brings with itself a huge genetic memory, mysterious as well as fascinating.
A design chaise longue is characterized by curvy lines, expressly made to help rest and to follow the body while relaxing; a modern essence that doesn't forget its antique ancestors. This dualism is, nowadays, expressed by new materials that fit like new clothes on young people, discovering a brand new style.
Please, come and take a look with me at some of these custom Italian chaise longues, and be aware that by taking one at home with you, you will also take a whole series of memories, adventures, betrayals and madness belonging to the past; a wonderful mix we call History.
The first in line is, without a doubt, Le Corbusier chaise longue; excellent example of the "resting machine", starting point of a long new history, written by modern design. The cover is available in leather or cavallino leather and in different colours that gives an exotic and classic touch with no equal.
Sylvester upholstered leather chaise longue, the more elegant and extreme evolution of méridienne antique lines, is covered in leather and has precious and delicate chromed metal details.
Van der Rohe chaise longue reaches the extreme point where essentiality is mandatory and where there's no need for clothes, crinolines, silks from antique ages anymore: there's only what you need to rest completely at ease, dreaming about the past.
