Chaise Lounge Curved Steel & Vegetable-Tanned Cowhide / Dyed Sheepskin Patchwork
Located in Alcoy, Alicante
Special edition
The hug contemporary chaise longue is designed and conceived with a light aesthetic, the slight oscillation of the steel rod of 16 mm is complemented by the flexibility of the double 3.5 mm thick leather. When sitting in this furniture you feel an enveloping sensation, like being hugged, since the weight of the body is distributed evenly. Each unit becomes a refuge of visual and ergonomic wellbeing.
Our Hug Collection is inspired by the organic lines of a landscape, the curves of nature, and the imaginary silhouette of the wind inspire this collection of organic forms, almost like metallic sculptures.
The chaise lounge is an iconic piece of furniture that has evolved throughout the history of interior design. The version at hand is an example of how contemporary design can merge with traditional techniques and sustainable materials to create a unique piece.
The CNC bent steel is a durable and resilient material that allows for a wide variety of shapes and designs. Its use in this chaise lounge is particularly fitting as it contributes to an elegant and sophisticated aesthetic that contrasts with the warm and soft vegetable-tanned cowhide leather.
The Spanish artisanal tannery responsible for the leather manufacturing has achieved an exceptional result in terms of quality and sustainability. As it is vegetable-tanned, the leather is chromium-free, meaning it does not contain harmful or toxic substances. Moreover, the use of traditional tanning techniques and the employment of leather artisans ensure that each leather piece is unique and has its own character.
The metal, on the other hand, has been treated using a manual process of polishing, nickel plating, electroplating, and semi-matte lacquer. These processes, carried out by skilled artisans, give the metal a smooth and pleasant-to-touch finish, which in turn contrasts with the hardness of the steel.
Finally, the dyed sheepskin...

About Costantini Design
Costantini is a furniture design and manufacturing company founded in 2002 by artist and designer William C Stuart. The name Costantini comes from his maternal grandfather, a first generation Italian-American. Born in New York City and raised upstate, William majored in studio art at Colgate University with a year abroad in Paris, graduating with honors. In 2001, he traveled to Buenos Aires and fell in love with the culture and craftsmanship instantly. He designed his first collection soon after and opened an art and design gallery in Los Angeles. A decade later, he came home to New York and now has a studio in the famed West Chelsea Arts Building where his works blur the lines between art and functional design.

Vintage, New and Antique Side Chairs
Antique and vintage side chairs are space savers by design and wonderfully versatile pieces of seating for your dining room or wherever guests may gather.
Chairs have been indispensable pieces of furniture for a long time. We sit, therefore we deserve good seating. In Ancient Egypt, chairs were utilized in homes regardless of class, and most furniture was made of wood. Comfortable folding chairs, for example, were found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Chairs evolved to be more commonplace in the 1830s, and by the Industrial Revolution, they could be found in most homes. The traditional wooden side chair might feature an upholstered back and seat and was typically used for gathering around a big dining room table. Because the side chair does not feature armrests, it could easily be tucked under the table when not in use or delicately placed in a corner for decorative purposes. Today, the side chair’s slim silhouette and armless design still offer the same level of versatility as it did in its early days. It’s supportive of a large gathering for a meal in the dining room or kitchen and serves as an accent piece (or extra seating) resting against the wall in a living room or inviting foyer.
When shopping for side chairs, think about the colors and furniture style you’ve already introduced to your living room or dining room. Keep the height of your sofa in mind, for example. If you intend to pair your sofa with your side chair when it’s not perched near the dining table, it wouldn’t hurt if the height of your side chair matches the height of your sofa. Even if your side chair will largely be used in the kitchen or dining room, it will likely be used in the living room or home entertainment area as well. When you’re thinking about the seating where meals are served in your home, benches, stools and armchairs make suitable alternatives too. And if you’re feeling adventurous, combining a variety of dining room seating options can be both aesthetically pleasing and downright practical.
Side chairs are available in a number of styles today, and this convenient seating is one of the types of chairs you should know when furnishing your new home. Explore antique and vintage side chairs on 1stDibs. Find Art Deco side chairs and mid-century modern side chairs, or search by creator to find side chairs crafted by legendary designers like Charles and Ray Eames and others.
