Ultra Modern Recliners

Reinvention of the Recliner

The manly man chair known as the recliner has offended many wives and earned praise from the football buddies. Once banished to the basement, the modern recliner has come a long ways, and is not just your father’s beloved La-Z-Boy.

 

Ultra Modern Recliners - The DS-255 by De Sede

Take De Sede’s artful recliner DS-255. Inspired by Wassily Kandinsky’s works of art, this chair offers an avant garde feel with its sculptural feel. “Kandinsky inspired us by his unrelenting quest for new forms,” said Peter Koloc, De Sede’s director of product development. The lines of this modern recliner are deceptive with their fierce modern attitude, but once you sit in it, you know the recliner has its own force to be reckoned with. The footrest is hidden beneath the chair, appearing as you push back. This modern recliner is available in leather as well as various microfibers for durable comfort.

Modern Recliner by Hancock and Moore - The Grafton Lounger

By contrast, Hancock and Moore’s Grafton Lounger makes you look twice to be certain it is a recliner. The button tufted back invites you to sink in, conforming perfectly to the curves of your back. Hancock and Moore has perfected the art of the leather chair, offering hundreds of colors and hides to choose from. This chair would be perfect in buttery soft suede, or heavily pebbled leather.

Both companies rely on designs that give interest to the chair rather than the reclining feature. Handles are hidden either underneath or between the cushion and the side of the chair. Both offer the La-Z-Boy comfort, without compromising on cushioning. Check out the numerous other options from both sites for the new range of reclining.
