The Calma Lounge by Benjamin Hubert of LAYER for Spanish brand Andreu World is the kind of chair that beckons you to sit back, relax, and maybe stay a while. This lounge chair addresses what we all crave: comfort. “People are increasingly searching for comfort – both mental and physical – and this desire is what drives the design of the Calma Lounge we designed for Andreu World,” shares Hubert. “With its softly cushioned interior that wraps around the sitter, the lounge is a place to retreat to. It offers a deeply reassuring space – and in today’s world, that is a luxury.” An extension of the Calma task chairs from 2022, the lounge edition elevates the same cocooning form for a more leisurely environment.
From the outside, the Calma Lounge boasts clean lines and smooth curves, with a minimalist wraparound shell that feels architectural and modern. Inside, you’ll find a pillowy, cushioned seat that practically hugs you. The chair’s backrest, integrated with armrests, wraps around you in a comforting embrace, while an optional headrest adds a little extra support when you need to lean back and daydream.
What makes the Calma Lounge truly sleek is its hidden, weight-activated reclining system, free of bulky knobs or levers. Instead, a discrete leather tab nestled between the seat and backrest allows you to adjust and lock your position, maintaining the chair’s streamlined design. A four-star timber base continues the soft, angular lines of the chair, echoing the dynamic movement of the reclining mechanism.
With a variety of customization options, the Calma Lounge plays with textures and materials in a way that feels both playful and refined. Choose from a range of upholstery textiles, or opt for a plywood shell on the back for an added touch of contrast. Whether you need a comforting retreat at home or in the office, the Calma Lounge delivers.
