First Class-Inspired Loungers

This Award-Winning Chair Design Resembles High-End Airline Seats

— August 6, 2013 — Art & Design
Coalesse’s Hosu Convertible Lounge is an award-winning chair that reminds you of a first-class seat on an airplane. With an extendable foot rest sofa and an enclosed surrounding surface, the yellow living room lounger provides optimal comfort. Just like an airplane seat, it targets people who need to work, even when relaxing. The Hosu is made to provide a comfortable work station and personal space.

The single seat extends to a lower lounge with the attached ottoman. Just like an airplane seat, the chair has a rear storage pocket for books.

The chair also has soft pillows and padding so that it becomes the ultimate habitat to “relax, work, think, and read.” This design has won multiple awards for its innovative concept.
