The Siesta 62 lounge chair with matching ottoman is one of the most exceptional German lounge designs of the 1960s. Designed by Jacques Brule for the renowned Kaufeld Möbelwerkstätten, the armchair combines a powerful, almost sculptural design language with impressive seating comfort.
The widely flared, elegantly curved armrests, the generously proportioned seat, and the distinctly backward-sloping backrest give the Siesta 62 its unmistakable silhouette. From a side perspective in particular, the consistent lines of the design are evident: the dynamically rising back section and the flowing transition into the body make the armchair appear exceptionally elegant despite its impressive dimensions.
Both the armchair and ottoman stand on a characteristic four-spoke swivel base made of chromed metal. The filigree-looking frames create an exciting contrast to the voluminous, comfort-oriented upholstered body and emphasize the typical Mid-Century Modern character of the design.
This piece has been completely reupholstered by a specialized upholsterer and professionally covered with a high-quality anthracite fabric. The finely structured fabric harmonizes perfectly with the sculptural form of the armchair and gives the Siesta 62 a modern, understatedly elegant appeal. The new upholstery offers exceptionally high seating comfort and makes the armchair appear almost like a newly manufactured piece of furniture. The chromed swivel bases are also well-preserved and show only slight age-appropriate traces.
