Gravity Chaise Lounge
This mid-century modern piece is the best known and most successful modernist chaise lounge of the 1920s & '30s. The chair was first created in 1928 and exhibited at the Salon D' Automne in 1929. It was commissioned for the furnishing of a single villa in the Ville d' Avray, a commune in the western suburbs of Paris, France. Floating above its supports, the Gravity Lounge utilizes the forces of gravity to adjust its angle while mirroring the body's natural curves.
Making the Icon
Kardiel’s premium reproduction of the Gravity Adjustable Chaise Lounge boasts exact detail to the original. True to the original, the body of the Gravity lounge is amptly plump, stuffed with multi-density dacron wrapped foam. Hours of the ongoing comfortable lounging result. The base frame consists of pure heat powder coated steel made to exacting specifications of the original. The angle, curves, and the triple chrome coated tubular bent steel body, represents the dimension and scale of the original design. The Gravity lounge is an early example of ergonomic design, mirroring the natural curves of the body.
Expertly upholstered in your choice of premium top grain soft Aniline dyed leather or genuine cowhide, the gravity lounge is a modernist reproduction of a well-acknowledged modernist design that is crafted to last the test of time.
ABOUT GENUINE TOP GRAIN ANILINE LEATHER
A small percent of the world’s leather supply is of high enough quality for 100% Top Grain Aniline upholstered furniture. Aniline Dyeing is the process of soaking the hides in transparent aniline, which allows color to absorb into the natural hide. Top Grain Aniline leather is then topical stain protected to minimize liquid absorption during everyday use but does not require imitation grain stamping methods, which imprint a Faux grain over the majority of the leather surface. Without all the synthetic topical coatings, it breathes naturally making it comfortable for seating. It is soft, supple, durable and pliable, maintaining the characteristics of pure leather.
