The TriLounge, designed by Lionel Scharly, is a unique and eco-friendly armchair that combines comfort, sustainability, and style. This fully wooden chair is handcrafted using locally sourced wood from upstate New York, making it a green and environmentally conscious choice.
What sets the TriLounge apart is its attention to detail and luxurious design. The chair features a seat covered in a beautifully designed leather, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. The combination of the natural wood and high-end leather creates a harmonious blend of materials, making the TriLounge a standout piece of furniture.
With its ergonomic design and carefully crafted curves, the TriLounge offers exceptional comfort. The designer worked closely with the manufacturer to ensure that every aspect of the chair, from its shape to its materials, contributes to its overall comfort and quality.
The TriLounge is not only a visually appealing piece of furniture but also a testament to sustainable design. By using locally sourced wood and incorporating eco-friendly manufacturing processes, this chair is a prime example of how luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.
The design process for the TriLounge was a challenging one. The designer aimed to create a minimalist and modern shape that would be suitable for boutique hotels and hospitality spaces. Extensive research and the utilization of cutting-edge wood technology were crucial in achieving the desired outcome.
From the initial concept to the final product, the TriLounge took approximately 6-7 months to design and manufacture the prototype. It then took an additional year to bring the chair to market. The project was carried out in New York City, specifically in Manhattan.
The TriLounge has received recognition for its exceptional design. In 2015, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate innovation, practicality, and adherence to professional and industrial standards.
With its combination of comfort, sustainability, and style, the TriLounge is a true masterpiece in the world of furniture design. Its eco-friendly approach and luxurious aesthetic make it a perfect choice for those who value both quality and environmental consciousness.
