“A relaxed seating position that can change is a very nice thing to think about," says renowned designer Jeffrey Bernett. “And bringing the best thinking you can to a problem is exactly what modernism is all about." When we challenged Bernett and Nicholas Dodziuk to create a recliner that didn't look like a recliner, they took us on willingly. Armed with experience designing ergonomic in-flight seating for private jets, Bernett knew how to create a comfortable chair with none of the bulkiness or macho pretense of a traditional recliner. Sleek and streamlined, the Flight Recliner (2005) is expertly upholstered with very few seams to suit its clean look. Ready, set, recline. A patented conversion mechanism takes you from sitting upright to feet up to full recline with just a slight seated push. Even when fully reclined, Flight stands on a compact footprint.
