We all have those moments, the need to lounge about, to relax and do nothing. At a push, we might pick up a book or switch on the box, but in truth we’re not fussed: it’s about taking it easy, with no hubbub. Taking it easy and lounging about are pursuits best served by cool and comfy seats. Of course we shouldn’t sacrifice our aesthetic sensibilities, and so with any ‘lounger’ an attractive quality is a must.The following prepossessing seats invite you to lounge about.MantaManta is a bold and sculptural chaise longue designed by Giuseppe Viganò for Tuscan company Arketipo, and bears a resemblance to the ‘Manta ray’ (a close relative of sharks and rays). At Arketipo (a derivative of ‘archetype’), ‘making experiences, not objects’ is a central tenet of the brand’s design ethos. Handmade in Tuscany, every object is imbued with Florentine tradition and a rich heritage in textile manufacturing.‘Manta’ by Giuseppe Viganò for Arketipo. Photo © Decoist.The ‘Manta’ chaise longue.
