Tilt Lounging Set / 2024 / Maple, Leather, Stainless Steel Hardware / Lounge Chair : 54 x 62 x 76 cm Ottoman : 54 x 45 x 50 cm
This lounge chair and ottoman is the result of several years of living with—and learning from—a first prototype I completed during my studies at Concordia. It’s the third iteration in the span of five years and has taught me a great deal about my work and practice.
In response to North America’s rapid urbanization and shrinking dwelling sizes, the Tilt Lounging Set offers the luxury of a traditional lounge chair without the typical heft and footprint. The key innovation lies in the slung leather backrest—free of a restrictive frame or support structure—which pivots with the user on custom hardware, equitably catering to bodies of all sizes in spaces of all sizes.
The lounge chair and ottoman are made entirely by hand in Canada and match in proportion, material, and quality—to help you elevate your relaxation and get a leg up on your comfort.
