A Chaise Longue is an upholstered couch in the shape of a chair that is long enough to support the legs. It is often called "chaise lounge" or lounge chair in North America, particularly in the furniture industry. In modern French, the term chaise longue can refer to any long reclining chair such as a deckchair.
The Chaise Longues has its origins set in the 18th century France where it was the epitome of upper class luxury. In modern times, nothing much has changed and contemporary furniture designers have realised that people still want a stylish piece of furniture where they can relax.
Chaise Longues can be custom made and finished in various fabrics and wood stain. They are elegant pieces of furniture that are still relevant in contemporary furniture design.
