Recliner: A Fusion of Art and Comfort

Joanina and David Pastoll's Award-Winning Hanging Chair Design

The Recliner's design is sculptural and dynamic, with a pattern detail reminiscent of the veins in leaves, tree branches intersecting, and the patterns in dragonfly wings. The chair's form and function work together to create a cocoon-like feel that gently embraces the user, providing a relaxing and comfortable experience.

Each Recliner is handcrafted, with a standard core frame to ensure consistency in shape and comfort. The pattern detailing on each chair is unique due to the individual craftsmanship that goes into each piece. This ensures that every Recliner is a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

The chair's specifications include a length of 195 cm, a width of 72 cm, and a depth of 128 cm. Weighing 15 kg, the chair is made from durable mild steel or aluminium. It is E coated for rust resistance and powder coated for a sleek finish. One of the available finishes is Ferrograin Black, which offers a soft, suede-like touch.

The Recliner's design process was a meticulous one, involving several full-size prototypes and rigorous testing to achieve the perfect balance between form and function. The design team faced the challenge of finding the perfect hanging point for the chair, which was crucial to achieving the chair's gentle, floating movement.

The Recliner was recognized for its outstanding design and innovation with a Silver A' Furniture Design Award in 2017. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate remarkable expertise, creativity, and technical excellence. The Recliner is a testament to Joanina and David Pastoll's commitment to creating designs that not only serve a functional purpose but also contribute to the beauty of the spaces they inhabit.
