Gubi Sejour Lounge Armchair

The Sejour Lounge Chair is a low-slung chair with playful
proportions characterized by a deep, generous seat and
a gently curving backrest set atop a slender metal frame
and optional wooden armrests. This ingenious pairing
of contrasting forms, weights and materials results in an
intriguing, almost anthropomorphic form.

Inspired by a contemporary take on the midcentury
Scandinavian design tradition, the Sejour Lounge Chair’s
soft, rounded backrest envelops its solid, welcoming seat,
offering tremendous comfort and an invitation to stay awhile,
as its name suggests. The curve of the back supports a
restful sitting position even over long periods of time. The
intimate dialogue between the two forms results in a small,
yet elegant chair with a restrained and calm aesthetic.

It makes a stylish statement in a bedroom – in fact it
references early eighteenth-century ‘slipper’ chairs, once
reserved for sitting on while donning shoes or slippers in
elegant Victorian ladies’ boudoirs. The slipper typology
started to appear in shared living spaces by the 1950s, and
today, the Sejour Lounge Chair makes an elegant partner
to the Epic Table and works well in arranged groups, but is
even stronger in pairs or with a sofa, where there is a sense
of the two pieces being deep in conversation. Its small size
means it can be used in a variety of settings from homes to
hotel and office lobbies, and its personality ensures it draws
attention wherever it finds itself.
