Johannes Faure-Brac is the creative mind behind the Z LOUNGER, which is an inflatable piece of furniture designed with ergonomics and comfort in mind. The portable outdoor silhouette is a flat flab that can roll up and fit inside a duffle bag to carry around.
When it is unrolled, it inflates into a lounge silhouette that can be used by the pool, on the patio, or even on a boat. The Z LOUNER has an S-shaped contour that allows the body to nestle into the natural curve of the spine. It is also joined by an additional neck pillow, which adds more support to the cervical area so that users feel like they are on a comfortable lounge chair.
