The Star Lounger is an anthropomorphic seating solution that aims to incorporate a naturalistic touch into the home, while also offering a decidedly unexpected kind of aesthetic when positioned in a space. Designed by the Troy Smith Studio, the chair has a star-shaped construction that maintains a silhouette which is almost like a mix of a human with characteristics of a starfish. What's created is an ergonomic seating solution that will offer a hug-like experience when seated and command attention when not in use.
The Star Lounger is paired with brass hardware on the five tips of the star along with the rear supports to help offer a metallic accent against the stark black design of the main seat.
