02Why it exists

Most lounge chairs are designed to be looked at. HALDEN started with a different measurement: the average time a person sits before reaching for their phone. We wanted to double it.

The answer wasn't more padding. It was suspension — leather straps under the cushion that move with you — and a back angle of exactly 104°.

The brief: Comfort is a form of attention.

03How it was shaped

  1. We drew people, not chairs. Two hundred posture studies before a single line of furniture.

104 degrees

In our tests, 104° was the recline at which people stopped checking their phones. We didn't round it.

08The idea

Comfort is a form of attention. 

A chair is a proposal about time. Fast chairs get you back on your feet. HALDEN proposes something slower: sit down, stay, notice the light move across the floor.
