Artifort Shark Front 2-Legged & Backside Sled Lounge Chair
Although it owes its name to its similarity to the profile of a fearsome predator, you have nothing to fear from this armchair. On the contrary, the Shark Lounge is extremely comfortable to sit on. It’s sturdy too, with extra support for your back.
The Shark Lounge is a soft armchair with organic lines and a contemporary base. Holten: ‘Aesthetically, it’s clearly a member of the widely acclaimed Shark dining chair family and its striking base makes it distinctive. The silhouette of the base is a projection of the upholstered shell on top. So in terms of design it’s entirely unique and of this time.
