Alain Berteau's Side Lounge

4-20-alaintiny.jpgIgnore the Upholstery! Belgian architect Alain Berteau designed the pivoting lounge Side Lounge. Though the upholstery is horrendous in the photo above (we made sure to include the tiny pic of the green/yellow models) we like this design a lot...

A large one-seater sofa, Side Lounge expresses itself first of all in an asymmetric language. With its one pivoting armrest cleverly swivelling out of the backrest the Side Lounge offers a very comfortable seating with a bit of a lanky attitude. Side Lounge is the spitting image of its creator, being both casual and distinguished. Its retractable asymmetry, left or right turning version, allows for infinite linear combinations, going without hesitation from a very private salon to a more public lounge in a hotel or an airport.

Why is the upholstery horrendous?

I think that upholstery is kinda kicky. But then again, I've used peach in my own place, although it's a VERY different permutation.

Peach? That is band-aid.

I will side with the thought that the upholstery isn't so attractive. It is a bit too flesh tone to me.

Wait a sec, is it the upholstery or the color? Seems like two different issues.

This is a great piece. I think that these posts would be much better if the authors took the time to find price and/or sources.
