Most rooms are defined by perpendicular planes that meet at rigid 90-degree corners, but to make the most of the free space between the walls, the floor and the ceiling, pieces like this Bonikowski Lounge Chair add a bit of drama.
This rad recliner takes an iconic shape, molded from folded and curved plywood to produce a dynamic silhouette. A thin layer of grid-stitched cushioning sets off the black and the white loungers with a classic appeal that simultaneously assert their timeless likeness to a mid-20th century modern sofa as well as one of contemporary conception.
Designed by Michal Bonikowski, Lounge Chair No. 1 is meant to offer a tranquil place for comfortable relaxation, taking a form that's equally easy on the eyes.
