SABA Lounge Chair
An Authorial Study in Curvilinear Embrace, Parametric Joinery & Solid Wood Artistry
Saba Lounge Chair | Wooden Lounge Chair by NICCHRIS
Curved Timber, Open Woodwork & a Relaxed Seating Position
The Saba Lounge Chair by NICCHRIS brings together a distinctive wooden frame and a relaxed seating position. Its design is defined by the contrast between straight lines and sweeping curves, creating a lounge chair that looks interesting from different angles without relying on decorative details.
The most noticeable feature is the shape of its rear legs. Rather than extending straight down from the backrest, the timber curves backwards in a wide arc towards the floor. This unusual detail gives Saba its recognisable side profile, while the front legs and armrests follow straighter lines. The difference between these shapes is what makes the wooden frame particularly interesting.
The upholstered seat and backrest sit within the exposed timber frame, with the backrest leaning gently backwards to create a relaxed seating position. The open spaces beneath the armrests keep the structure visible, allowing the curved rear legs to remain an important part of the design.
Saba is an interesting choice for those who appreciate wooden furniture with a more expressive shape. While the chair has a generous backrest and wide seating area, its open frame allows the surrounding space to remain visible. This makes it particularly suitable for living rooms where the furniture is appreciated from multiple angles.
Material Authenticity & Engineering Authority
Certified Structural Solid Hardwood
Every frame begins with structural solid hardwood timber billets selected for high density, tensile resilience, and prominent grain flow. Kiln-dried under calibrated moisture cycles, the wood resists distortion, cupping, and checking across shifting interior humidity.
Parametric Mortise & Tenon Framework
Saba’s chassis relies on high-tolerance internal mortise and tenon joinery engineered via parametric modeling. Stress-bearing shoulder intersections distribute dynamic passenger loads evenly across the chassis, eliminating joint looseness and squeaks permanently.
Multi-Density Ergonomic Tub Core
The curved inner shell utilizes multi-density, cold-cured foam encased in breathable wraps. This calibrated layering delivers immediate surface softness followed by progressive lumbar support that prevents seating fatigue.
Hand-Rubbed Open-Pore Protective Sealants
The exposed solid timber receives successive coats of an ultra-matte, low-sheen protective formulation rubbed in entirely by hand. The breathable finish shields against humidity and spills while keeping the natural tactile grain open to the touch.
Architectural Spatial Versatility
Saba is tailored for discerning architects, interior designers, and design purists seeking the bespoke rigor found in top-tier private commissions. Positioned as a conversational pair facing a low hearth, curated as an inviting reading anchor beside full-height architectural glazing, or completing an executive salon, its low profile keeps panoramic room sightlines unobstructed. Each piece is custom made to commission, allowing deliberate textile curation ranging from dense bouclé and textured weaves to supple full-grain aniline leathers.
Looking for cohesive interior curation? Pair Saba alongside the low horizontal lines of the Mooi TV Cabinet or balance with the architectural surface of the Bugatti Sideboard.
