The design of this oak wood and leather lounge chair explores the relationship between the body and gravity, searching for that moment when one lets go, and instead of an action of impact, it becomes an invitation to deep rest.The choice of oak as the main material provides a solid and stable base, which, through its density and texture, reflects the idea of retreat, of feeling protected and grounded. At the same time, the use of leather on the seat and backrest evokes softness and comfort, creating a subtle contrast with the robustness of the structure.
This material contrast creates an almost weightless experience: when the body rests upon it, the leather holds and embraces it, giving the sensation of floating over a warm and solid surface. Each line and detail of its design invites the user to let go and surrender to stillness, experiencing that harmony between the heavy and the light, between the firm and the welcoming. The lounge chair, therefore, is not just a functional object; it is an expression of serenity and protection, a place where the weight of the body dissolves in a gesture of absolute rest.
