A chaise longue can become the focal point of a living room. Originating from the 17th century the combination of a chair and a daybed is a simple long chair with a canted back, armrests and a leg support. Modern architecture saw more open plan living spaces which made it great for designer chaise longues and still today remains a sought after piece of indoor and even outdoor furniture.

Chaise Longues are perfect for relaxing and reading and offer great back support with the shape and most of the time soft upholstery. For a contemporary design the models with a chrome base, lower seat height and tight back are a great choice. A great example is the Cattelan Italia Casanova Chaise Longue
