Generous Comfort, Considered Motion — Chair & Panchina

The Repos Lounge Chair & Panchina pairs the swivel lounge chair with the Panchina — a small upholstered bench that serves as a footrest or occasional seat, sold together as a set. The chair uses a concealed synchronised mechanism that allows the sitter to move from upright to fully reclined, locking the backrest at any angle. The resistance of the backrest can be manually adjusted to the user’s weight. Generous padding, inviting armrests, and a high back give the chair a presence that belies its relatively compact footprint.

The cover — fabric or leather across multiple upholstery grades — is fully removable on both chair and panchina. The four-star 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. Note: the Panchina is only available with plastic glides.
