Bao Lounge Chair

Plush and lavish cushioning supports all postures for a casual and relaxed moment of pause. The Art Deco inspired back has a perfect circular silhouette which is grounded by it’s tailored perimeter. The result is a new upholstery marvel.

Unexpected curves and dynamic geometry disrupt the archetypical form of a square and a circle; without sacrificing the integrity or comfort of the form itself.
