Elson Lounger
A modern heirloom piece that balances craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless design, the Elson Lounger is a refined take on mid-century modern seating. Defined by its low profile, sculptural frame, and hand-woven seat, it brings a quiet sense of luxury to both contemporary and classic interiors.

Production & Lead Time
Each chair is made to order in small batches. Due to the handcrafted nature of the process, production is limited to 8 chairs per month, so customers may experience a short waiting period depending on current demand. This ensures every piece receives the time and attention it deserves.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure longevity and preserve the natural beauty of the wood:
- Outdoor chairs (Iroko): Apply chair oil once per year (first year’s oil supplied with the chair)
- Indoor chairs (Walnut & Oak): Re-oil every 2 years (first year’s oil supplied with the chair)
Natural Materials Disclaimer
As each chair is crafted from solid wood, no two pieces are identical. While the overall design remains consistent, natural variations in wood grain and colour will occur, making every Elson Lounger a unique piece.
A Statement in Simplicity
The Elson Lounger is designed to age beautifully, developing character over time while remaining a versatile centrepiece in any space—from modern apartments to outdoor terraces.
