Soft upholstery, deep sofas, tactile materials and muted colors: we can sit back and relax once again. No, not just relax...lounge. After years of angular, rigid seating that invited you to sit for a short while only, the current trend for comfort cannot be overlooked. Upholstery can be crumpled, cushions are highly desired, colors are muted and floral carpets are back.
Hotels took a pioneering role
As with many interior design trends, the most prestigious hotels also took on a pioneering role when it came to “lounging”, with the reopening of ultra-comfortable foyer areas and stylish bars. The trend for well-being, listening to our bodies and taking things down a gear now and again, also played its part. Lounging is a lifestyle that makes us want to stay in. The designer Antonio Citterio describes his most popular lounging sofa as “feel good”sofa. He designed the Axor Citterio and Axor Citterio M bathroom collections for Hansgrohe.
Lounging in the bathroom
Of course, we do not use bathrooms like hotel foyers or bars, but we still like to spend time in them. A comfortable seat next to the bathtub or lavatory, carefully selected materials and a comfortable atmosphere turn bathrooms into our relaxation zones, or in other words, places for lounging.
