Infier Chaise Longue

As an architect, furniture designer, and researcher in sustainable design, I have always believed that furniture should be experienced as both a functional object and a spatial element. The creative journey behind the Infier Chaise Longue began with a simple question: how can a seating object provide exceptional comfort while simultaneously enriching the visual identity of a space?My architectural background led me to approach the chair as a small-scale piece of architecture. Rather than designing a conventional chaise longue, I explored fluid, continuous forms inspired by movement, balance, and the relationship between the human body and space. Through numerous sketches, digital studies, and ergonomic evaluations, I refined a form that naturally follows the body's contours while maintaining a strong sculptural presence.The final result is a harmonious integration of ergonomics and aesthetics, where every curve contributes simultaneously to comfort, structural performance, and visual expression. For me, the Infier Chaise Longue is not simply a chair; it is an experience that combines art, architecture, and human-centered design.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply interested in the dialogue between craftsmanship and innovation. The Infier Chaise Longue provided an ideal opportunity to explore this relationship.Traditional woodworking brings warmth, authenticity, and emotional value to furniture, while CNC manufacturing enables a level of precision that is essential for creating complex organic geometries. The flowing structure of the Infier would have been extremely difficult to achieve through conventional methods alone.By combining these approaches, I was able to preserve the tactile beauty and natural character of wood while utilizing advanced manufacturing technologies to achieve precision, consistency, and structural integrity. This fusion ultimately shaped the chair’s identity, creating a piece that feels contemporary yet timeless, technologically advanced yet deeply connected to traditional craftsmanship.

Many contemporary chaise longues rely on heavy visual mass and bulky construction to communicate comfort. I wanted to challenge this assumption.The concept behind Infier was to create a chair that appears visually light while still delivering exceptional ergonomic support. The lightweight foam and frame system allowed us to reduce unnecessary material while improving adaptability to the human body.This approach enhances the user experience on multiple levels. Physically, it provides a comfortable and supportive reclining position. Visually, it creates a sense of elegance and openness within the space. Functionally, it improves mobility and flexibility compared to heavier lounge furniture.The innovation lies not only in the construction method but also in creating a new perception of comfort—one that feels effortless, refined, and contemporary.
