Minimalist Locally-Made Lounge Chairs

The Lounge Chair from Instrment Applied Design is Chic

— September 17, 2020 — Art & Design
The Lounge Chair from Instrment Applied Design is an elegant seating solution for the home that is focused on delivering comfort as well as style for discerning design aficionados to appreciate. The chair was created in collaboration with furniture maker Lewis Macleod with the Glasgow-based design studio and is made-to-order with either Scottish Oak or American Walnut wood. A removable plinth can allow for a more skeletal aesthetic and let the stainless steel components come into the spotlight.

The Lounge Chair from Instrment Applied Design can come with gray melton wool, green Italian boucle or tan calf leather and is priced at £1,395. The chair effectively merges high-end modern design with a mid-century modern silhouette to make it suitable for pairing with more understated pieces as well as contemporary essentials in the home.
