Need: Stylish Lounge Chairs

While the defining characteristic of 'lounge chair' is comfort, the following examples also deliver great silhouettes and nuanced details. You need fitted for your furniture first: adequate lumbar support, arm rests that don't raise shoulders, a flat plane from knee to thigh - better yet, add an ottoman and get your feet up!
