Home decor items are no longer simply for aesthetic or utilitarian purposes, but rather need to have a story attached to them like the 'Ulysses' Modern Chaise Lounge, which is designed after the aesthetic of the butterfly.
Sculptural and low to the ground, the 'Ulysses' Modern Chaise Lounge is inspired by the Blue Mountain Butterfly, which calls Queensland, Australia it's home. The final product of the 'Ulysses' Modern Chaise Lounge is a light yet sumptuous seating solution crafted from walnut wood and Mokum fabric.
Completely handmade, the 'Ulysses' Modern Chaise Lounge is an example of how animalistic decor is becoming a more pervasive notion in the design world; as we move further away from the natural world, we look to incorporate artistic imaginings of nature into our homes.
