Know before you buy
The gathered upholstery is a deliberate design feature intended to maintain its voluminous, tactile appearance. Because it is crafted by skilled artisans in Italy, the fabric or leather is secured to ensure the aesthetic remains consistent with regular use.
The metal base offers a sleek, modern profile that leans into an industrial aesthetic, while the wood crossed legs provide a warmer, more organic feel. Both options are engineered for stability and support, so the choice primarily depends on the existing materials in your room.
Yes, the Liù is designed with ergonomic curves and an inviting recline angle specifically for extended relaxation. It provides a supportive, lounge-style seat that is well-suited for reading nooks or quiet conversation areas.
Absolutely. With a wide range of upholstery options including various fabrics, leathers, and eco-leathers, you can select a material based on your lifestyle needs. For high-traffic areas, we recommend opting for one of the performance fabrics or leathers that offer higher durability and easier maintenance.
The Liù Lounge Chair is typically delivered as a finished piece or requires minimal assembly depending on the shipping configuration. Please refer to the included instructions, as the attachment of the base to the seat is straightforward and requires only basic tools.
The chair measures 26.5 inches wide by 24.7 inches deep. Given its sculptural shape, it is best placed in an area where it has a few inches of clearance on all sides to allow the unique silhouette to be fully appreciated.
