The Bombay Lounger - recliner and bench. 
​
The Bombay Lounger is a tribute to a classic, the Bombay fornicator. 
​
We wanted to take elements of classic Indian furniture, and create a new language for what we believed is needed to bring traditional materials and ideologies into the contemporary design space. Our aim was to create a timeless piece of furniture that speaks of time gone by, and futures ahead.
​
The Bombay lounger is an adjustable lounge recliner and bench, paying tribute to its classic material of cane and teak, but manipulating them in such a way so as to create a slim, sleek profile that can blend into any surrounding, contemporary or otherwise. 
​
We used stainless steel for the frame below as well as a customised adjustable backrest, rather than teak,  further enhancing its clean and elegant profile.
​
The back rest can lock into five positions, offering the user a range of profiles on which to rest. In its first mode, it becomes a 3 seater bench, allowing it to be used as a multipurpose piece of furniture. The teakwood sections taper towards the ends of the recliner, to reinforce the idea of minimalism and elegance. 
​
Three panels of cane are woven into the teak frame, using a classic cane pattern that is lightweight and durable. 
The finish of the teak uses a natural polish, to highlight the beautiful quality of teakwood grain. 
​
This recliner is ideal for indoor and outdoor use, both residential and commercial, especially for hotels and resorts.
