The easy curves of Lounge Chair 43 form a long, lean profile. Its cantilevered frame along with the webbed-linen suspension combine for a receptive feel that minimizes pressure points and lets the user lie back and relax in casual style. The mesh also provides cooling aeration. Cross rails are solid birch.
