This is a most unique chaise lounge from designer Daniel Michalik of Long Island New York. Each handmade Cortica is a full size lounge and is constructed of renewable cork so it is light weight, naturally waterproof, and yes it will float. The naturally resilient cork is perfect for indoor or outdoor use and resists against rot and mildew so it requires little to no maintenance. A pliable feel and rounded base allows the user to find a comfortable position and have complete support with a lot of stability, as if they were floating. Made from pure cork, reclaimed waste material from the bottle-stopper industry, non-toxic marine-grade adhesive, and a small amount of polyurethane. 72" long x 20" wide x 26" tall $4998.
Well this isn't your traditional wooden rocking chair! No, this rocking chair is complete contemporary. Designed by Alban-Sebastian Gilles, this piece is fully upholstered and comes with aluminum or oak arms. If orange is not your color, there are others available to choose from. I hope that when my time comes, I can be this cool. Available from Bonluxat. H 33" W 28.75" D 34.75" SH 16.25"
Most of the collection from Norwalk Furniture is more traditional by design. I find the Beckett chair and ottoman to be more transitional. The leather pattern closely resembles that of the famed Barcelona chair and the arms certainly take their influence from modernism. The ottoman is somewhat unique in its design giving the chair set a different overall look.
You know the saying "everything old becomes new again", well here is a retro look from Danish modern designer Verner Panton that was popular in the 60's and 70's. The Panton Relaxer Lounger looks like a 60's stab at the coming "space age" but in fact is a very comfortable chair perfect for extended lounging. The reissue of the original is made to the same standards from oiled mahogany and 100% wool covered polyurethane cushion. Each piece is stamped with a limited edition number, available from modlivin for $1195.00. 24.5"W x 40"D x 30.5"H x 8"SH
This chair was designed by Finnish architect and designer, Alvar Aalton. Aalton is best known for his contributions to modern architecture and building design. He expanded into interior design and furnishings in a collaborative effort with his wife, Aino Marsio-Aalto. Created in 1929, the armchair seat and back are made of curved plywood. The arms and base are laminate and curved beech. Available at Steeldomus furniture, the armchair measures 60 x 80 x 64 cm.
