Sedan Lounge Chair

With their Sedan chair, Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu demonstrate how varying impressions can be created simply by changing the material or the colour of individual elements in a design. The chair’s seat and frame are conceived as visually distinct, contrasting forms: the seat appears to be suspended in the wood or metal frame like a sedan chair, giving the design its name. Although offering the ultimate in comfort, the armchair is not a ponderous, immobile object, but rather a lightweight, fl exibly arrangeable piece of furniture. With a fabric or leather cover combined with a frame made of wood or powder-coated steel, Sedan harmoniously fi ts in with any interior or forms a deliberate contrasting accent. The designers have thus conceived the perfect chair for private use and public areas such as lounges, waiting rooms, reception areas – something they had long sought for the interiors of their projects – providing distinctive, comfortable and yet mobile and elegant seating.
