Warren Platner was a luminary in the world of modern design, Platner's career was marked by a relentless pursuit of innovation and elegance. Trained as an architect, he seamlessly transitioned into the realm of furniture design, leaving an indelible mark with his distinctive creations.

Knoll became a trailblazer, collaborating with visionaries like Warren Platner to create pieces that would go on to define an era.

One-of-a-Kind Contemporary Aziza Easy Chair by Hugo França, Brazil 2017
Located in Deerfield Beach, FL
This lounge chair is an unique piece in pequi wood made in Brazil in 2017, by contemporary designer Hugo França, famous for his sculptural furniture using reclaimed wood and preserving the organic forms of the tree. This piece was originally a canoe manufactured by the Pataxó indigenous people, in south of Bahia, Brazil. In the early 80s, Hugo França abandoned his previous career as an industrial engineer in São Paulo to be closer to nature, moving to Trancoso, Bahia. Witnessing from up-close the rampant destruction of the local Atlantic Forest greatly impacted him, motivating his current work as a designer. França reverences the very trees salvaged by him as his main inspiration; he works intuitively, allowing his creative process to be guided by each tree’s organic...

Le Minotaure Armchair, Pierre Augustin Rose in Pierre Frey Teddy Mohair
By Pierre Augustin Rose
Located in Culver City, CA
Introducing Le Minotaure, the chair that dares to be more than just furniture—it’s a mythical creature brought to life in the coziest, most stylish way possible. Named after the legendary Minotaur, the half-man, half-bull monster of ancient Greek mythology, this chair takes inspiration from its dual nature—powerful, wild, and utterly captivating. Imagine settling into a chair that feels like a polar bear-turned-throne, ready to envelop you in the deepest, most luxurious comfort you’ve ever experienced. Let’s talk about those curves! Le Minotaure is oversized in all the best ways, with an expansive wingback design that wraps around you like a big, warm hug. Draped in Pierre Frey’s off-white teddy mohair—one of the finest fabric lines in the world—it’s like sitting inside a cloud, if that cloud were also a masterpiece of high-end design. The texture is so plush, so inviting, that it practically beckons you to sink in and stay a while. And those legs! Oh, those legs. The front legs are chic, conical, and lacquered in a sleek black, giving just a hint of the chair’s sharp edge, almost like a creature ready to pounce—or at least make a statement. But the real showstoppers are the back legs. They’re like nothing you’ve ever seen before—arching down, gracefully touching the floor, then lifting off in a smooth, fluid arc before landing again, like a mythical creature on its knees, poised in waiting. It’s as if the chair itself is a living, breathing thing, ready to cradle anyone bold enough to take a seat. Le Minotaure blends mythical inspiration with Picasso’s artistic imagination and Italian design sensibility, resulting in a chair that’s both iconic and playful. It’s more than just furniture—it’s a fabulously oversized creature of comfort...

Antique and Vintage Lounge Chairs for Sale: Wassily Chairs, Eames Chairs and Other Celebrated Seats

While this specific seating is known to all for its comfort and familiar form, the history of how your favorite antique or vintage lounge chair came to be is slightly more ambiguous.

Although there are rare armchairs dating back as far as the 17th century, some believe that the origins of the first official “lounge chair” are tied to Hungarian modernist designer-architect Marcel Breuer. Sure, Breuer wasn’t exactly reinventing the wheel when he introduced the Wassily lounge chair in 1925, but his seat was indeed revolutionary for its integration of bent tubular steel.

Officially, a lounge chair is simply defined as a “comfortable armchair,” which allows for the shape and material of the furnishings to be extremely diverse. Whether or not chaise longues make the cut for this category is a matter of frequent debate.

The Eames lounge chair, on the other hand, has come to define somewhat of a universal perception of what a lounge chair can be. Introduced in 1956, the Eames lounger (and its partner in cozy, the ottoman) quickly became staples in television shows, prestigious office buildings and sumptuous living rooms. Venerable American mid-century modern designers Charles and Ray Eames intended for it to be the peak of luxury, which they knew meant taking furniture to the next level of style and comfort. Their chair inspired many modern interpretations of the lounge — as well as numerous copies.

On 1stDibs, find a broad range of unique lounge chairs that includes everything from antique Victorian-era seating to vintage mid-century modern lounge chairs by craftspersons such as Hans Wegner to contemporary choices from today’s innovative designers.
