CONALD Lounge Chair
The Atelier's Benchmark in Kinetic Balance, Parametric Joinery & Solid Wood Artistry
Conald Lounge Chair | Solid Wood Lounge Chair by NICCHRIS
An Exploration of Woodwork, Angles & Thoughtful Proportions
The Conald Lounge Chair by NICCHRIS is recognised for its distinctive wooden frame and the way each part of the chair connects. Rather than relying on a bulky structure, Conald uses carefully shaped timber to create an open design, with the upholstered seat and backrest sitting within the frame.
Look closely at the armrests. They extend from the backrest towards the front legs, with smooth transitions that make the timber appear almost continuous. The rear legs angle backwards, giving the chair its recognisable side profile, while the open spaces beneath the arms allow the woodwork to remain visible from different angles.
The contrast between the solid wood frame and upholstered cushions is an important part of Conald's design. The timber defines its shape, while the seat and backrest introduce a softer surface. Beyond its appearance, careful attention has been given to the chair's ergonomics. The seat depth, backrest angle, and armrest height are designed to provide comfortable support for people of different body sizes, making Conald a lounge chair intended to accommodate a wide range of users.
For those who appreciate furniture where the woodwork is part of the design, Conald offers something different from a fully upholstered lounge chair. Its open frame makes it a particularly interesting choice for living rooms where you want a substantial armchair without the visual bulk of a fully enclosed design.
Made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, the Conald Lounge Chair brings together carefully shaped solid wood, upholstered seating, and thoughtful ergonomic design.
Material Authenticity & Engineering Authority
Certified Structural Solid Hardwood
Milled from certified structural solid hardwood billets hand-selected for dense growth rings, straight grain pathways, and flexural strength. Cured through slow dehumidification cycles to balance core moisture and eliminate checking or warping.
Parametric Mortise & Tenon Framework
Conald’s internal chassis relies on high-tolerance mortise and tenon joinery developed through parametric scripting. Hand-fitted timber tenons seat into deep mortise housings, permanently eliminating joint looseness, frame racking, and squeaks.
Multi-Density Ergonomic Cushioning Architecture
The internal seat and backrest incorporate cold-cured foam cores enveloped in breathable Dacron batting. Delivers an immediate supple touch followed by progressive spinal support that prevents seat depression over years of daily enjoyment.
Hand-Rubbed Open-Pore Protective Sealants
Sealed by hand with an ultra-matte, low-sheen protective formulation. The breathable coating penetrates deep into the wood pores to shield against spills while keeping the authentic timber grain open to the touch, developing a rich patina over time.
Architectural Spatial Versatility
As the iconic signature piece of NICCHRIS, Conald is engineered for interior architects, spatial stylists, and discerning homeowners curating residences defined by expressive silhouettes and material purity. Positioned as an authoritative solitary statement chair beside soaring architectural glazing, arranged in conversational pairs across a minimalist hearth, or anchoring an executive penthouse study, its raked profile brings rhythmic warmth to stark modernist volumes. Every piece is custom made to commission in Malaysia, accommodating bespoke textile specifications ranging from textured bouclés and Belgian linen weaves to hand-selected full-grain aniline leathers.
Looking for cohesive interior curation? Pair Conald alongside the low horizontal lines of the Mooi TV Cabinet or balance with the architectural volume of the Donald Sideboard.
