From the elegant brushstrokes of Madame Recamier to the wild beauty of Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia, the chaise lounge has graced many iconic settings throughout history. In 1800, Madame Recamier reclined gracefully on a chaise lounge in her portrait, becoming a symbol of timeless beauty and sophistication. Fast forward to 1970, actress Glenda Jackson exuded confidence as she lounged on a chaise during a photo shoot, capturing the essence of Hollywood glamour. The allure of the chaise extends beyond portraits and photography. In 1907, The Tea Room at Hotel Prince George showcased its opulence with silver gelatin prints featuring guests enjoying their leisurely moments on plush chaises. Even Jeanne found solace in Hotel du Quai Voltaire in Paris as she sketched charcoal and white chalk drawings of this luxurious piece. Not limited to indoor spaces, Victorian greeting cards depicted couples sitting side by side on cozy chaises outdoors—a testament to love and companionship. Meanwhile, an exquisite walnut and velour couch from c. 1850 exemplified Victorian craftsmanship while providing comfort fit for royalty. Venturing further eastward brings us to India's Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra—where an outdoor swimming pool beckons guests to relax upon inviting chaises amidst breathtaking views. Glenda Jackson made another appearance here in 1990, showcasing her versatility as an actress against this exotic backdrop. As time progressed, even furniture shows recognized the enduring appeal of the chaise lounge; one such event held at Design Centre captivated visitors' imaginations with innovative designs that pushed boundaries while honoring tradition. Through artistry and functionality alike, whether it be immortalized through oil paintings or captured within photographs spanning decades—the allure of the chaise lounge remains unchanged: an invitation to indulge oneself luxuriously.
