The HUG contemporary chaise lounge is an exercise in lightness and organic form, designed to offer an enveloping sensation of well-being. Its aesthetic is defined by the subtle oscillation of a 16 mm cold-bent steel rod frame, which works in perfect harmony with the inherent flexibility of 3.5 mm thick leather. Inspired by the silhouettes of the wind and the fluid curves of nature, this collection transcends traditional furniture design to become a series of functional metallic sculptures. When in use, the body’s weight is distributed evenly, creating a sanctuary of visual and ergonomic comfort that justifies its name—a true "hug" of design.The technical integrity of the HUG collection is achieved through a meticulous manual chroming and lacquering process. Each steel frame undergoes a delicate treatment to ensure a uniform metallic finish of at least 50 microns across the entire surface. This commitment to quality is backed by successful corrosion resistance testing in salt spray chambers, adhering to the prestigious UNE-EN ISO 9227:2017 and UNE-EN ISO 1456:2010 standards. The structure is finished with custom brass-lathed screws, which serve as the jewel-like points of connection between the industrial steel and the organic warmth of the leather.JOVER+VALLS utilizes only the finest Spanish hides, vegetable-tanned through an artisanal, eco-conscious process using natural tannins from bark and plant tissues. We specifically select the animal’s "croup" to ensure leather pieces of exceptional size, thickness, and uniformity. Treated with natural oils and fats, the leather remains supple yet durable, aging with a distinctive grace and patina. We celebrate the natural marks and characteristics of each hide—reminders of the skin’s origin and the season of its tanning—as they bestow a unique authenticity and soul upon every individual chaise lounge.Tailored for the world’s most exquisite interiors, the HUG collection offers a wide array of bespoke finishes. Clients can customize their piece with a curated selection of leather colors, including Black, Dark Brown, Natural Tobacco, and Navy. The steel frame is available in sophisticated polished finishes such as Aged Brass, Black Smoke, and Old Silver. Whether placed in a minimalist urban foyer, a rustic ski lodge, or a grand library, the HUG chaise lounge stands as a sculptural art object designed for conversation and quiet reflection. It is a timeless addition to any high-end space, from private residences to exclusive international resorts.
