Catch Some Zs on Ergonomic Sculpture

Janus et Cie – Dedon leaf chaise by Frank Ligthart

Why I like it
A sleek silhouette to use against plush greenery. Taking its inspiration from organic forms, this chaise acts as sculpture as well as a resting place. The gentle back swoop is ergonomically designed for ease in reading or taking in the view.

How to sell it
Hand-woven synthetic fiber is smooth to the touch and virtually maintenance free. Integrally colored, it is inherently resistant to environmental conditions such as ultraviolet light and the growth of microorganisms. Fibers cover a rust-proof, powder-coated aluminum frame for lasting durability.
