Vanilla: A Luxury Lounge Chair that Bridges Generational Gaps

A Unique Piece of Art and Comfort

The inspiration for the Vanilla lounge chair came from the designer's observation of the differences between today's generation and their parents' and grandparents'. Despite these differences, the chair symbolizes the harmonious marriage of these two realities. The decorative metal sheet in the middle serves as a meaningful connection, representing heritage and tradition. This component is sourced from local craftsmen, highlighting the importance of traditional arts.

What sets the Vanilla lounge chair apart from others is its unique design and features. The chair has an ergonomic form that supports the knees and back, ensuring maximum comfort. With 7 cm of cushioning, it provides a plush seating experience. The bent wood frame creates a cantilever effect, adding to the chair's visual appeal. The decorative patterns on the metal sheet create beautiful shadows, enhancing the overall aesthetic. The wide seat allows for leisurely sitting, while the tilt knee mechanism provides 360-degree rotation and tilt back. Additionally, the chair features an adjustable neck rest, catering to individual preferences.

The production process of the Vanilla lounge chair is simple and environmentally friendly. The main frame is made of bent plywood, complemented by a polished stainless steel base. The upholstery is crafted from suede and leather, adding a touch of luxury. The decorative element, an engraved sheet metal, is made by local suppliers of handicrafts, supporting the community and reducing the chair's carbon footprint. The chair is designed for ease of assembly, shipping, and maintenance, with only four main components.

With its dimensions of 1140 mm width, 870 mm height, and 2030 mm depth, the Vanilla lounge chair is a statement piece that demands attention. The seat dimensions of 860 mm width and 410 mm height ensure a comfortable seating experience. The stainless steel base has a diameter of 860 mm, providing stability and durability.

The Vanilla lounge chair was designed by Sahar Madanat Haddad and her team. Their extensive research on seating ergonomics, cushioning, and support resulted in a chair that prioritizes comfort. They also explored manufacturing techniques for bent wood and collaborated with local suppliers to create a greener product.

This exceptional design has been recognized with the Iron A' Design Award in 2011. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Vanilla lounge chair stands out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and contribution to a better world.
