Description

Grand Relax and Ottoman

Grand Relax is a luxurious reclining lounge chair combining outstanding comfort with compact dimensions and a classic understated aesthetic. The exceptional seating experience offered by this chair stems from the harmonious interplay of diverse elements and its conception as a leather-upholstered furnishing. High-quality covers in leather or fabric encase the soft seat and back cushions, which sit loosely on the lounge chair and snugly envelop the sitter. When sitting down, the user sinks slowly into the cushions, while a concealed integrated mechanism absorbs the weight and moves the chair into a reclined position. The seat and backrest move independently in synchronised motion. A control knob can be rotated to adjust the resistance of the mechanism, and the backrest can be locked at any angle. Mounted on an elegant four-star base made of aluminium, the lounge chair can be rotated 360°. A matching ottoman is available as a footrest or additional seating option.

Grand Relax and Ottoman  features a combination of choice materials, such as cast aluminium and high-quality leather. Antonio Citterio developed the armchair with Vitra around the concept of using leather as a cover material, and wanted the cushions to have a well-used look. He therefore selected particularly soft leather cushions that acquire an appealing patina with visible creases over time, giving each armchair a unique appearance. The lower half of the outer backrest shell is covered with embossed split leather, forming a type of shield that enfolds the user, while defining the contours of the lounge chair. The combination of split leather and Leather Premium creates a dynamic contrast between the armchair’s inner and outer faces. Split leather is also used to cover the understructure of the seat and ottoman.

Grand Relax has a compact yet inviting appearance. The carefully designed proportions of the low-slung body, long armrests and upward tapering backrest visually emphasise the dynamic seating experience and emanate a comfortable feeling of security.
