The Ahkka lounge chairs, designed with subtle curves and rounded corners, are named after the tenth highest peak in Sweden, where Ice Age glaciers have rounded and sculpted the mountainous regions of the far North.
Composed of a wingback version, a standard back version as well as a matching footstool / ottoman, the Ahkka lounge chairs are intended for informal office meetings, high-end lounge areas and reception spaces.
The Ahkka wingback lounge chair’s continuously-curved outer surfaces offers a sense of protection for those wishing to find a retreat within an open environment or engage in private conversations. Using the footstool together with either the standard back version or wingback version enables a further level of comfort.
Particular attention has been paid to the optimization of the aesthetics, the progressively-curved outer surfaces have been developed to achieve the appearance of a single, enveloping volume. The ergonomic padding features of the lounge chairs meet the outer surfaces along decisive edge lines, producing a precisely controlled result. No mean feat when it comes to large armchairs such as these.
Supported on swivel bases, the exceptional comfort offered by the lounge chairs is based on an adaptive mechanism carefully integrated beneath the upholstery. This technical solution allows a seamless transition between a relaxed, reclined position to a more upright, focused position. In addition to this, the padding has been enhanced with an array of integrated cushions, together with generous armrests, in order to achieve a finely-tuned, soft seating experience.
