Lounge KONTRAPUNKT

The design of the Kontrapunkt, an armchair that converts into a chaise longue, explores the possibility of creating an alternative to the standard type of cumbersome lift chair. The aim was to integrate the armchair and chaise longue into a compact, visually lightweight object. The name Kontrapunkt itself means 'two opposing points', and comes from music, where it refers to the method of composing two parallel melodic lines into a harmonious whole. This has been achieved by using armrests as part of the innovative mechanism that maintains the extension of the leg rest and tilts the backrest into the correct position. With its minimalist design, the product's construction parts remain visible without compromising its aesthetic appeal. Comfort is achieved thanks to the ergonomic shape and elasticity of the materials, particularly through different versions of the product, upholstered in fabric or leather. Changing the upholstery transforms its character, making it suitable for different interior situations. The ultimate experience of comfort can also be moderated by layers of feathers and height adjustments for the headrest cushion.
