Elevated Comfort, Wing Chair Presence

The Grand Repos is the taller, more enveloping member of the Repos family — a swivel lounge chair with a six-centimetre higher backrest than the Repos and an expressive wing element that wraps around the sitter for a heightened sense of enclosure and comfort. A synchronised mechanism concealed beneath the upholstery allows the sitter to move from upright to fully reclined, locking the backrest at any angle. The resistance can be manually adjusted to the user’s weight.

The fully removable cover — fabric or leather across multiple upholstery grades — is available in a wide range of colours. All plastic components in the inner construction are made from 95% recycled materials. The four-star swivel base is die-cast aluminium in a polished or powder-coated finish; the base version determines the finish of the mechanism control lever. Available in two heights. A neck pillow filled with recycled PET fibres is included.
