The Cologne Chaise

There’s something about relaxing back on a chaise lounge (or chaise loungue, as it’s also called) that feels highly decadent. You feel like you ought to have a glass of champagne by your side and a butler hovering nearby.

These distinctive pieces of furniture first originated in the 18th century in France and are a type of distinctive lounge chair (hence the name) that has continued to be popular in some circles ever since.

This lovely navy coloured leather chaise lounge, called the Cologne Chaise, is available from the Sofa and Chair Company. Although the chaise lounge was originally designed for classic style homes, the leather look of this one would work equally well in a modern, contemporary home.

With a price tag of £1,351.25, it sadly doesn’t come cheap. But for an extra special  piece of furniture that will not only look great, but be practical and last you for years too, we think it’s worth it. It doesn’t come with a butler, but you can always dream.
