Editors' 10 Favorite Chaises, Glamor Edition - Remodelista
Is there anything more glamorous than a chaise lounge (or longue)? From Francesca: "I have this chaise in my bedroom covered in pale blue velvet. It's a reproduction that Lost City Arts makes. Perfectly proportioned; lean and sleek, and surprisingly comfortable. A great spot for kids that have wondered in in the middle of the night." The Mirror Image Sofa is $4,200 from Lost City Arts. Margot is coveting John Derian's Pond Chaise Lounge from Cisco Brothers, "I like that it's diminutive (so many chaises these days are outsized and overly padded) and looks ideal for reading a Barbara Pym novel."

This Day Bed by Another Country works perfectly for daytime lounging and as a guest bed at night." The Oak Day Bed with a Gray Mattress is $2,425 (or £2,150 in the UK) from Another Country. From Janet: I like a chaise to envelope m, a spot to cozy up with a book at the end of a long day. Julie admired Ochre's Eternal Dreamer Corner Ottoman chaise last week on a visit to New York. Sarah's pick: "It's not a traditional chaise lounge, but it's exactly what I would use to recline with a good book and plenty of pillows. This is one of those products that only when I saw it in person, at Heath Ceramics in San Francisco, did I really appreciate the design. It's on the 'will-buy-one-day' list." In the right setting, Alexa's favorite chaise is Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Couch for the hand tufted cowhide leather and mahogany hardware, but she likes it best in white. Meredith's pick is the e15 Theban Daybed for being, "so ahead of its time for having been designed in 1925. The chair is inspired by Egypt, hence the name; the sandy color and woven seat are fit for a pharoah." From Justine: I'm longing to create a storied reading nook in a corner by a tall window in my historical home with an antique chaise like this one from Jayson Home. From Michelle: "I like the business end of a sectional, the chaise part of it where you can put your feet up and settle in for a long evening of Foyle's War. Somehow the fact that other TV watchers in the room have their feet on the floor heightens it for me."
