Vanilla Lounge Chair

Vanilla Lounge Chair is an innovative luxury seating solution that harmoniously bridges generational gaps through thoughtful design and cultural symbolism. Created by Sahar Madanat Design Studio, this sophisticated furniture piece exemplifies the marriage of contemporary comfort with traditional craftsmanship, earning recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. The chair's distinctive design features a split aesthetic that symbolically represents the contrast between generations while maintaining visual cohesion through an ornate brass decorative sheet metal element, handcrafted by local artisans, which creates meaningful shadow patterns representing cultural heritage. The chair's technical specifications demonstrate a commitment to both comfort and functionality, featuring a wide seating area with 7 cm cushioning, an adjustable neck rest, and advanced 360-degree rotation capability with tilt-back technology for optimal knee and back support. The ergonomically designed bent-wood frame adapts to the user's body contours, while the polished stainless steel base provides stable support. With dimensions of 1140 mm in width, 870 mm in height, and 2030 mm in depth, the chair offers generous proportions for comfortable lounging. The design emphasizes sustainability through local manufacturing processes and simple production techniques, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint. The chair's construction comprises four main components - upholstery in suede and leather, bent wood frame, decorative sheet metal, and base - facilitating easy assembly, shipping, and maintenance. This thoughtful approach to design and manufacturing demonstrates how luxury furniture can be both environmentally conscious and culturally significant while maintaining high standards of comfort and aesthetics.
