A chair that recalibrates a room, the Grand Repos Lounge Chair (2011) by Antonio Citterio creates an instant pause point, shaping a corner into a private reading or thinking nook. Beneath its generous upholstery, a concealed synchronized mechanism lets the back recline smoothly and lock at any angle, with resistance that adjusts manually to the user's weight. The four-star base allows subtle swivel and orientation. Available in a choice of fabrics or leather, with fully removable covers over recyclable foam upholstery. Made in Finland.
