Sejour Lounge Armchair

The Sejour Lounge Chair is a low-slung chair with playful proportions characterized by a deep, generous seat and a gently curving backrest set atop a slender metal frame and optional wooden armrests. This ingenious pairing of contrasting forms, weights and materials results in an intriguing, almost anthropomorphic form.

Inspired by a contemporary take on the midcentury Scandinavian design tradition, the Sejour Lounge Chair’s soft, rounded backrest envelops its solid, welcoming seat, offering tremendous comfort and an invitation to stay awhile, as its name suggests. The curve of the back supports a restful sitting position even over long periods of time. The intimate dialogue between the two forms results in a small, yet elegant chair with a restrained and calm aesthetic.

It makes a stylish statement in a bedroom – in fact it references early eighteenth-century ‘slipper’ chairs, once reserved for sitting on while donning shoes or slippers in elegant Victorian ladies’ boudoirs. The slipper typology started to appear in shared living spaces by the 1950s, and today, the Sejour Lounge Chair makes an elegant partner to the Epic Table and works well in arranged groups, but is even stronger in pairs or with a sofa, where there is a sense of the two pieces being deep in conversation. Its small size means it can be used in a variety of settings from homes to hotel and office lobbies, and its personality ensures it draws attention wherever it finds itself.
