Slim Multi-legged Loungers

The Levity Chaise Longue Gives the Illusion That People Are Floating

— August 16, 2012 — Art & Design
The Levity chaise longue looks like an abstract insect. Its slim structure, multi-legged supports and long form appears to be modeled after a centipede of some sort. Nevertheless, as its name suggests, the Levity chaise longue's thin legs are meant to make it look like the person reclining in the seat is floating in midair.

Created by industrial designers Zsanett Benedek and Daniel Lakos, the Levity chaise longue is made out of 12 millimeter thick birch plywood and 12 millimeter thick birch rods. Lightweight but surprisingly sturdy, the Levity chaise longue is a stunning piece of furniture that will add a surreal touch of character to any home. Beautifully sculptural, the abstract geometries of the seat give it a uniquely striking look.
Trend Themes
1. Slim Furniture Design - Opportunity for designers to create furniture that is both functional and visually striking through the use of slim, lightweight materials and abstract geometries, like the Levity chaise longue.
2. Illusionary Design - Innovation opportunity to create furniture that plays with perception and creates an illusionary effect by incorporating the surrounding environment it is placed in, like the Levity chaise longue's thin legs creating the illusion of floating in midair.
3. Geometric Shapes in Furniture Design - Design opportunity to incorporate abstract geometric shapes into furniture that look like works of art and functional pieces of furniture, like the Levity chaise longue's sculptural design.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Innovative designers can create unique and eye-catching furniture pieces, like the Levity chaise longue, that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional for consumers to use in their homes.
2. Interior Design - Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate visually striking and conversation-starting furniture pieces, like the Levity chaise longue, as statement pieces in home decor and design.
3. Sculpture and Art - Artists and sculptors can draw inspiration from furniture pieces, like the Levity chaise longue, to design and create sculptural works of art that serve a functional purpose in addition to being visually striking.
