Lyra Chaise Lounge
Lyra reintroduces the art of reclining, creating space for rest, thought, and moments that unfold at their own pace.
About
With the Lyra Chaise Lounge, designer Andreas Engesvik breathes new life into a classic piece of furniture: the chaise longue. Lyra Chaise Lounge is a perfect place for both daydreaming and quiet conversation, with great potential to become the favourite piece in the home. Here you sit slightly more upright than in traditional versions, yet no less comfortably. The Lyra Chaise Lounge is also somewhat wider, allowing you to move freely within it. The chaise longue has a long and exclusive history. Aristocrats in ancient Egypt and Greece already stretched out on chaise-like furniture to relax. Today, many associate the piece with Parisian salon life, Freud’s famous couch – which was in fact a chaise longue – or with modernist masterpieces by designers such as Marcel Breuer, Charles and Ray Eames, and the team behind the LC4: Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, and Pierre Jeanneret.

Good design often begins with curiosity. How does something work? And what happens when you approach a familiar object from a different direction? For Andreas Engesvik and Jannicke Grung, the designers behind Oslo-based studio Grung Engesvik, these questions are part of an ongoing conversation. Their work explores materials, construction and everyday use, bringing different perspectives together through experimentation and craftsmanship. The ambition is to create objects that people will enjoy using, caring for and keeping.
