Notes
Characteristics resulting from the material and manufacturing, such as fine scratches, slight irregularities or isolated discolouration, are typical of the material and may occur. Burnishing is characterised by an individually shimmering colour and surface texture.

The brass patina is created in the workshop. Sealing preserves this finish. Use only a soft, slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry afterwards. Acids, salts, moisture, alcohol and unsuitable cleaners can cause stains or discolouration.

Is a metal lounge chair comfortable?

The question comes reliably and deserves an answer instead of reassurance. Metal is hard, a chair is soft, so the assumption goes that you sit well in one and not in the other. The error in this calculation is one: it confuses what gives way with what supports.

An armchair answers the question of comfort with mass: lots of cushioning that somehow cushions every posture. TUKKON CHAIR answers them with a decision. It is designed for a single position, sitting low and reclined, as one would when reading. The angle of the seat sets this posture, and because the form carries it, the chair needs no upholstery.

A lounge chair that can completely handle one posture does not have to accommodate anything; he holds. Therein lies the difference between softness and comfort, and it shows itself not in the first minute, but after an hour with a book, when no one has changed positions. Whether TUKKON CHAIR fulfills this cannot be said, just sitting.

Designer chair: how to recognize a design

A designer chair differs from a mass-produced chair less in appearance than in the order in which it was created. Mass-produced furniture starts with the parts that are available: round tubes in standard sizes, purchased seat shells, off-the-shelf screws. The design is based on them. When it comes to a one-off piece, the shape comes first and then we look for how it can be built.

The design of a chair is not only visible from the front. If you place it freely in the room, you can also see the transitions between the surfaces, the edges and the back. The shape from all directions counts for the overall impression.

In everyday life, an exclusive chair does not mean that it stands out, but rather that it can stand out from every angle. A lounge chair that you only want to show from the front is, strictly speaking, half a piece of furniture. TUKKON CHAIR is designed to stand in the middle of a room and be viewed, even from where no one is sitting.

Lounge chair or armchair: what the difference is

An armchair encloses, a lounge chair supports. That's the whole difference, and it has consequences for space. An armchair brings its volume with it; It is padded up to the armrests and needs its space even when no one is sitting in it. A lounge chair is more open and narrow. It shows what you're sitting on instead of hiding it.

When it comes to fancy chairs, there are two ways to compete. One works with color, pattern and unusual combinations of materials and immediately stands out. The other works with the silhouette and is only noticed at second glance, but again and again. TUKKON CHAIR takes the second approach. From a distance you can read a line, from close up a surface, and both remain interesting even if the chair has been in the same place for years.

The designs that have become classics almost all share this characteristic: a single idea to which they limit themselves and the abandonment of everything that does not support this idea. A chair that wants to be three things at once ages faster than one that does one thing entirely. However, whether a design passes this test only becomes clear after twenty years, and no manufacturer can claim this beforehand, including this one.

As a reading chair, in the dining room or in the bedroom

As a reading chair, the lounge chair stands next to a floor lamp and at a distance from the wall so that the rear view remains what it is. In the living room it becomes the seat by the window, where you sit low and stay a long time. In the bedroom it takes on the role of an armchair on a surface area of ​​60 × 45 cm in brass and 61 × 45 cm in stainless steel, i.e. where there would be no space for an armchair.

Whether the proportion fits into a certain room can be clarified in advance: a photo of the location and the dimensions are sufficient; occasionally the answer is that another piece of furniture belongs there. There are five to six weeks between order and delivery, shipping costs nothing, and a piece in stock can be returned within 14 days.

Other seating in the same materials can be found in Seating, including ZEN BENCH for the long side of a table. Matching Dining tables are nearby, with Coffee tables for the living room. What remains is a lounge chair that needs no explanation in any of these settings.

Frequently asked questions

How high is the seat?

The total height is 66.5 cm and 45 cm deep; the width is 60 cm in brass and 61 cm in stainless steel. The seat height is not published as an individual measurement and will be specified upon request. If the chair is intended for a specific table, its height helps to check the combination in advance.

Is TUKKON CHAIR a rocking chair?

No. The base stands firmly on the floor, without runners and without a rocking function; a rocking chair is not part of the program. TUKKON CHAIR is still intended to be a quiet reading chair, just without movement.

Is TUKKON CHAIR available with upholstery?

No. TUKKON CHAIR is made entirely of metal, including the seat. Its angle supports deep, reclined sitting, so it does not need upholstery.

Does it fit at a table as a dining chair?

No. TUKKON CHAIR is a lounge chair in which you sit very low. It therefore does not suit a dining table 75 cm high; its place is the reading or seating corner. ZEN BENCH is made for the dining table.

What surfaces is it available in?

In patinated brass and brushed stainless steel. The brass patina is created during finishing in the workshop. Handcrafted surfaces can differ in tone; please discuss any wishes for a matching pair before ordering.

Can I order two identical copies?

Two pieces can be ordered together. Handcrafted, patinated brass surfaces are not identical, however. If the pieces are intended as a pair, please discuss any particular wishes with us before ordering.

How do I care for TUKKON CHAIR?

The surface is sealed. A soft cloth, for example microfibre, with an alcohol-free glass cleaner or a little soapy water is enough. Polish, abrasives and solvents do not belong on it.

How long does delivery take?

Five to six weeks lie between ordering and delivery, with free shipping. An in-stock piece can be returned within 14 days.
