Chaise Lounge and Daybeds

Chaise lounge or Chaise Longue as they are sometime called are a cross between a sofa and a daybed. Historically associated with fainting victorian ladies and roman feasts, they have been updated for modern style homes. Modern examples sometimes look like armless or one armed sofas, but some might best be described as 'relaxing machines' as Le Corbusier called his modern classic chaise longue. These are more sculptural forms designed to ergonomically support and flow with the human form.
