Widely considered one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, Le Corbusier is credited with revolutionizing the face of modern urban architecture and updating it to fit into the technological age. As a result, his legacy translates into a strong sense of purpose, which met the needs of a democratic society dominated by a machine . Over the following years, both Thonet and Le Corbusier granted licenses to other design houses, allowing them to recreate the chaise. This led to lots of confusion, uncertainty and many unauthorized reproductions.

The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.

Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably. The upholstery is top grain Italian leather; each piece is cut and hand-sewn with attentive detail. The seat cushions are high resilient - high density polyurethane foam cushions. The upholstery seams/welt lines are straight and the premium foam cushion contours perfectly with the frame. In Austria in 19th century, famed inventor, designer, and craftsman Michael Thonetpatented his bentwood process and began to produce his now-iconic scrolling bentwood Chaise Lounge Model no.2—and, in the ensuing decades, inspired generations of lounge chair designers. The modernists that followed Thonet began to approach lounge chair design as an exercise in anthropometrics, ergonomics, and economy of materials. As a result, we been gifted a number of noteworthy midcentury modern chaise lounges with coolly minimalist forms, often cantilevered or with tubular steal structures.
