Asymmetric just looks uncomfortable. I agree and do like lecorbusiers better though.

Put me down for being against the term "Chaise Lounge" in general.

Having said that, I prefer the Mies Lounge Bench.

Even though its super small and close to the ground, in terms of pure aesthetics Le Corbusier all the way..

I'm afraid both of these look like pieces of durable medical equipment for helping people with certain...activities of daily living, let's say.

For a little something different, check out the Ambient Lounge mod bean bags from http://www.beanbagzone.com/.

The Studio Lounger is a hip alternative to the classic Chaise.

This one is great and looks like comfortable but I think it is much better if they can make folding chair with the same design as shown above. Over all, I like it, it reminds me of my old bean bag chairs.
