elegant, graceful chair was inspired by the sculpture ‘Floating Furniture’ by
Gaston Lachaise and it is named after the sculptor, rather than because it is a
chaise which is what most people would think. It was designed for a competition

can be sat in in many ways. The original design was white, with a matt or
glossy finish, and a natural oak base but now versions with a pink, orange or
red seat and pink or black bases are available.
