Mandacaru Recliner by Baba Vacaro
Brazilian designer Baba Vacaro is the brains behind this rather unusual and interesting take on the traditional recliner chair. Sitting perfectly in the genre between chair-like recliners and floor cushions, the Mandacaru chaise is made up of multiple levels of cushions that can be flipped and adjusted to provide optimum support for the user in any orientation. The chair can be reclined as far back or as upright as the user wants by simply flipping extra cushions over and the chaise can even be turned into an irregular daybed by evenly distributing the cushions on either side of the seat.
Enzo Berti Bagnante Recliner
Manufactured by Ferlea and designed by Enzo Berti, the Bagnante Recliner is the ultimate modernist recliner that can be paired with both formal as well as casual décor styles. The chaise is designed to appear like a freestanding floor mounted sculpture though it is a fully functional chaise in every sense of the word. An embossed, aluminum finished metal base keeps the recliner steadily in place while polyurethane stress-resistant fiber padding around the wooden frame ensures optimum comfort for the user. Since the recliner comes with a fully removable cover, users can customize the look of the chaise as often as they want.

To optimize relaxation for your legs both free standing as well as adjustable ottomans can be paired with the design.
Galaxy Reclining Armchair by Casadesus
The Galaxy recliner by Spanish manufacturer Casadesus Space Age reflects the personal tastes and philosophies of the company’s founder Jaime Casadesus. The project boasts of an authentic Spanish design language that features automated joints and luxurious upholstery as options with minimalist lines and soft contours offering the chair a rare semblance of warmth in its design. The design of the Galaxy recliner is inspired from office furniture lines of the 1970s and 80s. The footrest is hidden neatly in the underside of the sofa and allows the recliner to also be used as an office chair or a part of a more formal setting.
Modern Lounge Chair by Hans J. Wegner
Truly one of a kind, Hans J. Wegner’s Flag Halyard Chair came into being in 1950. The ultimate in relaxing luxury, the chair is made from a long-haired sheep skin, a specially developed flag line measuring 240 meters and a solid stainless steel frame. The playful design contrasted perfectly with the gloom and reserve that the world was under following the Second World War and the design appears distinctly ahead of its time with its decidedly modern silhouettes and innovative blend of materials. The basic idea behind the chair came into being as Wegner was digging himself a comfortable chair out of the sand when his children were playing in the shallow water at the beach.
