Leger Lounge Chair

The chair that carries India's most ancient architectural form. And rotates
There is an arch that appears again and again across India's most considered spaces — in temple gateways, in palace doorways, in the carved screens of havelis — the concentric arch that layers itself outward in a series of diminishing forms, each one framing the one within. The Leger Lounge Chair was designed around that arch. Five stacked concentric panels radiate outward from each side of the barrel body in the same warm linen beige — each layer slightly larger than the one before, casting its own considered shadow on the layer behind it — creating a three-dimensional profile that makes the Leger as extraordinary from the side as it is from the front. In a single material and a single tone, the form does all the work — the arch detail reading not as decoration applied to the chair but as the chair itself, shaped by centuries of architectural memory and made entirely contemporary in honest linen.
Fabric gives the Leger the warmth and honest texture of a fabric that improves with every hour spent in it — the natural textile making the concentric arch detail more about light and shadow than colour and contrast. A wooden plinth base grounds the fully upholstered body with the warmth of honest timber and a swivel plate which makes the lounging experience truly complete — the single material revelation that makes the chair as considered at floor level as it is at eye level. A lounge chair designed in India, for the home that understands the most extraordinary pieces are always the ones where a cultural reference is carried so naturally into contemporary form that the chair feels both entirely new and entirely of the place it was designed in.
