About this Item
Notes
The modern chaise longue was first popularized during the 16th century in France. Created by French furniture craftsmen for the rich to rest without the need to retire to the bedroom. It was during the Rococo period that the chaise longue became the symbol of social status and only the rarest and most expensive materials were used in their construction.
Upholstered in cream bouclé fabric, the 'Wave' chaise lounge features a textured, luxurious surface that adds both comfort and visual appeal. The 'Wave' exemplifies its name with its curved shape reminiscent of a wave. Pearsall is known for his innovative and sculptural furniture designs, which influenced this piece's dynamic form and stylish presence, reflecting the mid century modern aesthetic.
