About 601 Lounge Chair
601 is a lounge chair designed for corporate and residential interiors. The upholstery conceals a steady wood frame that supports the back and seat cushions. This frame is mounted on a handcrafted wood leg frame. The wooden arm rests are attached to the reinforced upholstery frame and to the leg frame by stainless steel supports. Forces created by the user are distributed into four elements, which reduces stress points and allows many years of use. The design is inspired by early 1900 industrial furniture production.
