As a self-professed furniture enthusiast, I’ve always been captivated by the intersection of art and design. And when it comes to chaise longues, the Cattelan Italia and Moooi collections have truly elevated this classic silhouette to new heights of sculptural beauty.
Crafting Conversation Pieces
When I first laid eyes on the Scott Keramik chaise from Cattelan Italia, I was instantly mesmerized. The central base, composed of two curved and overlapping metal plates, creates an optical illusion of rigidity and precision that’s simply mesmerizing. It’s as if the designers have managed to capture the essence of a sculptural masterpiece and transformed it into a functional piece of furniture.
But the real showstopper is the exclusive Oxybrass finish on the base. This hand-brushed, oxidized brass treatment lends the chaise a warm, earthy tone that grounds the design and makes it a true centerpiece in any room. It’s the kind of piece that begs to be contemplated, just like a work of art.
And the design doesn’t stop at the base – the elegant, marble-effect ceramic top further elevates the chaise’s aesthetic appeal. Available in a range of fascinating tones, these tops allow you to tailor the piece to your specific style preferences. For those who prefer a more organic touch, the Scott Wood model offers the same sculptural flair in premium woods, with expertly crafted edges that draw the eye.
Dual-Sided Seating Sensations
But Cattelan Italia isn’t the only brand pushing the boundaries of chaise longue design. Over at Moooi, the Aldora family has introduced a captivating new dual-sided seater that redefines the category.
Imagine being able to lounge comfortably while also facing your conversation partner – that’s the genius of the Aldora. With its symmetrical design and plush, enveloping cushions, this chaise longue allows you to engage with your guests in a truly interactive way. It’s the perfect piece for intimate, cozy conversations or simply indulging in a good book.
What I love most about the Aldora is its ability to seamlessly transition between individual and group settings. One moment, it’s a haven for solo relaxation; the next, it’s the centerpiece of a lively social gathering. It’s a true multipurpose marvel that defies traditional chaise longue conventions.
Blurring the Line Between Art and Function
As I delve deeper into the world of chaise longues, I can’t help but marvel at how these pieces are pushing the boundaries of what furniture can be. They’re no longer just functional objects – they’re sculptures that happen to serve a purpose.
And it’s not just about the visual appeal. These chaises are meticulously crafted, with an attention to detail that’s truly awe-inspiring. The curved lines, the precise proportions, the carefully considered finishes – it’s all a testament to the skill and artistry of the designers behind them.
In a way, these chaise longues are a physical manifestation of the ongoing dialogue between art and design. They blur the line between the two, inviting us to see furniture as a canvas for creative expression. And as someone who’s always been fascinated by the interplay of form and function, I find this trend utterly captivating.

Of course, the allure of these sculptural chaise longues comes at a price. But when you consider the level of craftsmanship and the lasting impact these pieces can have on your living space, I believe the investment is well worth it.
