Observatory Lounge

2022, steel, plywood, leather

The observatory lounge is an upholstered lounge chair, whose looks reflect designs from the past while inspiring designs for the future. Crafted by James Piatt, the lounge chair is for those who love nostalgic design, but don’t want to compromise aesthetics for comfortability and functionality. Chairs often symbolize the life and times of the designers and the owners. The history of design can be observed through the evolution of chairs over the decades and centuries, and this lounge chair is no exception

The Observatory Lounge’s unique segmented hexagon design supports any lounging scenario while placing needed support in the right areas. Thanks to extensive testing with 3D models, the lounge chair has been engineered to distribute the weight of a broad range of individuals, so any user can lounge comfortably.
