Contemporary Chaise Longues

Long thought of as a stylish boudoir chair for bedroom seating, the modern chaise longue was invented in France during the 16th century as a way to recline without retiring to the bedroom. With rare and expensive materials used in their construction, in time it would become a symbol of high status. Today, one needn't be limited to the living or bedroom, with designs ready to look just as good in an office or study. Here at Lime we offer some contemporary takes on the classic style to help bring luxury into your space.
