Lounge chair model 975 by Geoffrey Harcourt for Artifort, 1960

The Lounge Chair 975 is one of the projects that defined Geoffrey Harcourt's design language for Artifort. Designed to accommodate a relaxed posture rather than impose it, it stems from careful research into ergonomics and the interaction between the body and the seat, themes that made the British designer one of the protagonists of European design in the 1960s. The fibreglass shell houses the padding in a continuous and enveloping shape, characterised by soft curves and compact proportions. The inclination of the backrest and the depth of the seat encourage a natural position, making the armchair ideal for reading or relaxing. It is a project in which comfort emerges from the form itself, without the need for decorative elements. This example has been completely restored and upholstered in Vladimiro mohair by Dedar, a fabric that enhances the volume of the seat thanks to its rich surface and the particular depth of the blue colour. The new upholstery dialogues with the original silhouette without altering its identity, giving the armchair a refined and perfectly contemporary look. Produced by Artifort in the Netherlands during the 1960s, the 975 represents one of the most significant models of the company's production. A piece that combines technical innovation, ergonomic research and construction quality, capable of fitting naturally into both design collections and contemporary interiors.
