Don Howell has designed a beautiful chaise lounge that draws inspiration from the curvature of the human spine. While many chairs are designed to support your spine, very few of them are actually designed to resemble it.
The Sternum Chaise is made from solid wood and is handmade by a skilled craftsman. The design of the chair features sinewy lines and over 60 joints, which create the visual allusion of the human spine. The Sternum Chaise is not only visually appealing, but it also serves as a form of functional seating. Ergonomically designed for maximum spinal support, this chair is both comfortable and luxurious.
If you're eager to get your hands on this beautiful chaise lounge, the chair is available for order from Hellman-Chang’s Brooklyn Co-Op Studio.
