This designer lounge chair offers a lovely balance between closeness and personal comfort, functioning effortlessly as both a lounge chair and a compact bench. Inspired by Magnus Olesen’s 1937 Sofastole, the design draws from the soft, undulating movement of ocean waves. These flowing shapes are woven into a loveseat-like form that invites companionship without feeling crowded.

The gentle curves give the piece a sense of motion and warmth, almost like wings ready to lift off the ground. Multiple perforations across the shell create a quirky, cookie-like pattern that adds playful charm while keeping the silhouette visually light.

It is featuring a curved timber backrest, soft and comfy double seat cushioning, and vibrant upholstery. Finished with sleek steel legs for a sharp, contemporary look, perfect for lounges, offices and waiting areas. This designer lounge chair brings a unique mix of sculptural beauty, fun personality and everyday usability. It’s a refreshing alternative to traditional lounge seating, ideal for anyone who loves pieces that start conversations while still feeling cosy and practical.

Usage Type

Designed for Indoor Use

At benssur, we use top-grade materials designed to be durable and self-sustaining. Beyond that, we believe furniture tells a story through everyday use. Marks and wear add character, making your chair a true part of your home. There’s no need to keep it looking brand new—basic care with common sense is more than enough. For those looking to extend its lifespan, here are some extra tips for the primary materials used.

Timber Care

Timber is a natural material. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources will inevitably affect its appearance. The most common effects include timber turning yellowish under sunlight or paint losing its colour. While this typically doesn’t cause structural damage, it can result in noticeable changes in colour and surface finish, particularly on solid timber and painted surfaces.

Spills should be wiped immediately with a clean, damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided.

Fabrics Care

General Care Treatment

DO

  • Protect from direct sunlight, direct heat and weather.
  • Vacuum regularly using low suction.

DO NOT

  • Do not remove covers for cleaning.
  • Do not remove any parts for separate cleaning.
  • Do not remove covers for separate cleaning even though they have zippers.

Overall Cleaning

DO

  • Clean with hot-water extraction machine.
  • Use only upholstery detergent.
  • Dry in shade away from direct heat and sunlight.
  • Allow to dry thoroughly before re-use.

DO NOT

  • Do not use dishwashing or laundry detergents.
  • Do not wet filling.
  • Do not scrub with a stiff brush.

Spot Cleaning

DO

  • Clean as above.
  • Treat spills and stains as soon as possible.

DO NOT

  • Do not saturate the fabric or interior with water or other cleaning liquids.

Pilling

  • Can occur occasionally as a result of normal daily wear and should not be considered as a fault.

benssur is operated by a team of registered architects and designers. Our qualifications and extensive experience in architecture empower us to create well-designed, aesthetically pleasing, and functional furniture.

We collaborate directly and closely with our manufacturing partner from the initial design phase, through material selection and production, to inspecting the finished products before they are shipped to our warehouse. Every step is carefully considered and monitored to ensure high-quality standards.

Unlike others with ‘half price sales’ or ‘buy one get one free’ deals, we don’t inflate our prices to begin with. Our pricing model always offers the best value available, so you won’t see massive discounts because our prices are fair from the start. While we do offer sales, our goal is to provide the best prices and value all the time.

Yes, all the photos on our product pages are of the actual finished products, taken right before they are packed and shipped to our warehouse.
