Its unique aesthetic is a major draw, often described as a sculptural piece of art.

Know before you buy
While the Hai draws inspiration from classic recliners, it is a fixed-position lounge chair. It offers the same high-back support and wide, comfortable arms as a recliner but with a sleek, contemporary silhouette that doesn't require a mechanical reclining mechanism.
Yes, the upholstery is a high-quality wool-nylon blend with a Martindale rating of 65,000 cycles, indicating excellent abrasion resistance. It is designed to withstand frequent use in residential settings while maintaining its refined texture.
The seat height is 15.75 inches. This is a standard height for a lounge chair, providing a comfortable, relaxed posture that is deep enough for lounging but accessible enough for easy entry and exit.
The chair measures 34.65 inches wide and 34.25 inches deep. Because of its generous, voluminous design, we recommend allowing a few extra inches of clearance around the perimeter to fully appreciate its profile from all angles.
The Hai lounge chair typically arrives with the metal frame and upholstered body requiring assembly. Detailed instructions are provided, and the lightweight nature of the metal skeleton makes the process straightforward.
