Vitra HAL Lounge Chair Integrated Seat Cushion

Manufacturer: Vitra

Designer: Jasper Morrison, 2021

This is an original genuine Vitra piece.

Creations by Jasper Morrison are not characterised by a strikingly new or fashionable design, but instead represent the update and perfection of a familiar typology – as demonstrated with the HAL Lounge Chair, which is Morrison‘s reinterpretation of the upholstered four-legged high-backed armchair.

Despite its compact dimensions, the lounge chair is exceptionally comfortable. It comes with soft loose seat and neck cushions or, if preferred, with an integrated seat cushion.

Thanks to its understated aesthetic, the HAL Lounge Chair is extremely versatile, suited to use at home or in public spaces, and can stand either alone, in pairs or in groups. However, a reduced design is not synonymous with bland neutrality: Jasper Morrison‘s products unmistakeably bear his signature. Understated indeed signifi es that the design is not a fashionable trend, and that it instead exudes an aura of tranquility and will age well. The strength of the design becomes increasingly evident over time, when other more attention-grabbing contemporary creations have long faded into decline.

The lounge chair can be paired with the HAL Ottoman, allowing the user to enjoy its full comfort with their feet up. Both the HAL Lounge Chair and HAL Ottoman come with removable covers.
