Lounge chairs belong to the category of day beds, allowing you to relax for short periods by stretching your legs. If this great principle remains constant until today, the appearance of this furniture has been radically transformed by the use of new materials and techniques, unleashing the imagination of the creators. From furniture designed from a seat with an extended seat (from 1 m to 1.60 m), sometimes broken in two or three, we have thus moved on to refined creations, born from the functionalist movement at the turn of the 20th century. .The marriage of ergonomics and aesthetics remains the foundation of design, which is not always taken seriously.
