Effortless Comfort, Rooted in Timeless Design

The TAO Lounge chair expands the TAO family with a lower, more relaxed posture—bringing the same minimalist spirit into the world of laid-back comfort. Its name still reflects the quiet simplicity at the core of the project, now reimagined for a more leisurely pace.

At the heart of the design is the signature T-shaped backrest support—a visual and structural feature that gives TAO its distinctive character. Drawing from the timeless lines of mid-century classics, the TAO Lounge pays homage to the elegance of 1950s and ’60s design, evoking familiar forms from vintage school chairs, Nordic cafés, and iconic Eames pieces—reinterpreted with a contemporary, minimalist sensibility.

Available in both molded plywood and plush upholstered versions, the TAO Lounge balances warm materiality with clean, architectural lines. The frame’s visual lightness is achieved through a refined construction that allows the seat and back to seemingly float—free of visible screws or rivets—emphasizing purity of form and structural clarity.

Precision-crafted die-cast aluminum connectors anchor the backrest and provide a subtle signature detail, combining strength with a soft touch. TAO Lounge is both approachable and refined—a modern lounge chair designed to bring quiet sophistication and comfort to residential interiors, boutique lounges, and curated public spaces.
