HAL Lounge Chair

Creations by Jasper Morrison are not characterised by a strikingly new or fashionable design, but instead represent the update and perfection of a familiar typology – as demonstrated with the HAL Lounge Chair, which is Morrison's reinterpretation of the upholstered four-legged armchair with a high backrest. Despite its compact dimensions, the lounge chair is exceptionally comfortable. It comes with soft loose seat and neck cushions or, if preferred, with an integrated seat cushion. Thanks to its understated aesthetic, the HAL Lounge Chair is extremely versatile, suited to use at home or in public spaces, and can stand either alone, in pairs or in groups. However, a reductive design is not synonymous with bland neutrality: Jasper Morrison's products bear his unmistakeable signature. In his hands, understatement results in creations that radiate a sense of calm, do not follow fashionable trends and therefore age well. The strength of the design becomes increasingly evident over time, when other more attention-grabbing contemporary pieces have long been forgotten. The HAL Lounge Chair can be paired with the HAL Ottoman, allowing users to enjoy its full comfort with their feet up. Both the HAL Lounge Chair and HAL Ottoman come with removable covers.
