To Be Lounge chair

Design by B&T Design Studio

The To Be Lounge Chair is a mid-century modern lounge chair designed with a strong wood frame, wide upholstered seat, and refined architectural character. Created by the B&T Design Team and manufactured by B&T, this lounge chair reflects a northern design approach while reinterpreting classic mid-century design ideas for today’s interiors. With its masculine profile, tailored upholstery, and inviting proportions, the To Be Lounge Chair brings comfort, warmth, and visual confidence to modern living rooms, lounges, offices, hotels, and reception spaces.

Designed for both residential and commercial environments, the To Be Lounge Chair offers a comfortable seating experience through its wide seat surface, carefully angled back, and extended armrests. These details allow the body to settle naturally, making it ideal for relaxed conversation, waiting areas, hotel lobby seating, executive offices, private lounges, reading corners, and hospitality interiors. Its balanced form gives the chair a strong presence without feeling heavy, making it easy to place in both minimalist and richly layered spaces.

The chair’s exposed wooden frame is one of its most distinctive design features. The wood legs visually lift the upholstered polyurethane seating area from the floor, creating a suspended effect that feels light, elegant, and architectural. This combination of solid wood structure and soft upholstery gives the chair a beautiful contrast between warmth and comfort, making it a strong fit for Scandinavian, mid-century modern, California modern, boutique hotel, and contemporary office interiors.

The To Be Lounge Chair can be customized with a range of upholstery options, including fabric, genuine leather, or artificial leather. Wood frame options include natural ash wood, black stained ash wood, and walnut stained beechwood, allowing designers and project teams to tailor the chair to different interior palettes and project needs. The chair also accepts approved upholstery materials from B&T Design’s graded fabric collection, making it a flexible choice for contract furniture projects.

With its tailored upholstery, comfortable proportions, and refined wood frame, the To Be Lounge Chair is a versatile seating solution for interiors that need both comfort and character. Whether used as a statement lounge chair in a hotel lobby, a modern accent chair in a living room, a guest chair in an executive office, or a sophisticated seating piece in a reception area, it delivers a polished mix of classic design influence and contemporary comfort.

SEE IT IN ACTION

The lounge chair that looks like it reads design books and knows exactly where the best light lands. To Be Lounge Chair brings mid-century character into a modern, tailored silhouette with its sculptural wood frame, wide upholstered seat, and quietly confident proportions. It feels polished enough for hotel lobbies and executive offices, but comfortable enough for living rooms, lounges, and reading corners that deserve a proper sit. Warm wood keeps it grounded. Soft upholstery keeps it inviting. The wide seat says, “stay awhile,” while the refined frame says, “yes, I have excellent taste.” Classic, comfortable, and a little cinematic. A chair made for spaces with good coffee, good conversation, and no patience for boring furniture.
