Specifications:
A single gesture, a rapid manual movement, is all that isrequired to transform this relaxing armchair, with its
pleasantly evocative name, into a comfortable and
lightweight chaise longue with elegant curves. The
revolving base is available chrome-plated or painted;
the body, made particularly comfortable by the cold
foamed polyurethane padding, is upholstered in
leather, fabric or eco-leather (completely removable).
The line is snappy and dynamic, plastic and sinuous,
and bears the signature of the Egyptian-born designer
Karim Rashid. Elegant and casual at the same time,
Dragonfly it is a piece of furniture with great personality
that comes from the reworking of the soft and
eye-catching shapes typical of the contemporary
dormeuse and reclining armchair.
Karim Rashid was born in Cairo, Egypt in 1960; half English, half Egyptian and raised mostly in Canada. He received a Bachelor of Industrial Design in 1982 from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
