Lounge chairs – comfort and design for the modern professional space
Ergonomic lounge chairs for the workplace
Over time, lounge chairs have evolved from being just a piece of furniture to becoming a key element in professional interiors. With their unique ability to combine comfort, functionality and aesthetics, lounge chairs play a central role in everything from reception areas to creative work zones. In this guide, we take a closer look at the many facets of this seating category – and how to select the ideal solution for your specific needs.
What is a lounge chair – and why does it matter?
The term lounge chair comes from the English word lounge, referring to a space for relaxation or informal gatherings. These chairs are specifically designed to offer a relaxed and comfortable seating experience. Their history dates back to the 19th century, when upholstered seating was developed for leisurely use in private salons and living rooms.
Today, lounge chairs are found in reception areas, breakout spaces and informal meeting rooms, where they help create a welcoming and refined atmosphere. Their versatility makes them ideal for modern interiors that blend homely comfort with professional aesthetics.
Lounge chairs strike the perfect balance between comfort and functionality – whether in office settings, creative workplaces or elegant reception areas.
How to choose your next lounge chair
When selecting your next lounge chair, there are three key factors to consider:
- Intended use
- Practical considerations
- Current trends
Lounge chairs offer the ideal balance between comfort and functionality – whether for offices, creative workspaces or elegant reception areas. Here’s your guide to finding the right lounge chair for your project.
Applications in professional environments
Lounge chairs – once reserved for the living room – have fortunately found their place in today’s professional settings. Their versatility makes them an ideal solution across a wide range of contexts:
Reception areas
Create a welcoming first impression with lounge chairs in calming grey tones that convey tranquillity and professionalism. Alternatively, choose a colour that reflects your company’s visual identity.
Office landscapes
Use lounge chairs to define informal meeting zones or relaxation areas. They encourage creativity and offer employees a space to recharge.
Showrooms and retail spaces
Designer lounge chairs help create an experience that reflects your brand’s values and visual identity – while offering customers a place to pause and unwind.
Hotels and restaurants
Design exclusive lounge areas where guests can relax in refined comfort – optionally paired with a footstool for added ease.

Practical considerations when choosing lounge chairs
When selecting chairs for professional interiors, it’s essential to balance functionality, comfort and forward-thinking choices.
Comfort
This is a key factor – especially in spaces where the chair is used for longer periods. Ergonomic designs and softly upholstered seats ensure users can relax without compromising on posture or support.
Choice of materials
Materials matter – both aesthetically and practically. Leather, such as in a warm cognac tone, adds a sense of exclusivity and is easy to maintain, while textiles offer greater flexibility with a wide range of colours and textures to match the room’s style. Each material has its own benefits and care requirements, so your choice should reflect the intended use of the space.
Size and proportions
In larger, open-plan environments, lounge chairs should offer enough presence to create an inviting atmosphere. In more compact settings, look for models that strike the right balance between space-efficiency and comfort. Accessories such as a matching footstool can add an extra layer of relaxation in informal lounge zones or casual meeting areas.
Long-term solutions
Future-proof and responsible decisions are essential in professional environments. Lounge chairs made with FSC-certified materials and frames in recycled steel offer durability with a low environmental impact. Timeless designs and robust materials extend the lifespan of the furniture – making it a long-term investment that serves both aesthetic and functional needs, today and tomorrow.
Popular materials and trends
The design of a lounge chair is key to both its function and aesthetic. Today’s selection ranges from minimalist styles in oak and steel to luxurious versions in leather. Whether your preference leans towards Scandinavian simplicity or more exclusive upholstered designs, there’s a lounge chair to complement the character of any space.
VERMUND’s lounge chair options reflect today’s emphasis on durability, responsibility and functionality – while supporting a variety of aesthetic directions, from classic to contemporary. VERMUND lounge chairs are not only visually refined; they also serve as a design statement that can reflect your company’s values and identity.
Wood
Responsible choices such as FSC-certified wood are increasingly popular for their warm expression and timeless elegance. Natural or lightly treated wood surfaces that highlight the grain offer a classic look that complements both modern and traditional interiors.
Metal
Metal frames – whether polished, matte or powder-coated – add a streamlined, modern touch that complements minimalist and industrial interiors. The combination of metal and wood also creates a visual balance between the raw and the organic.
Leather and textile
Lounge chairs in leather – particularly in shades like cognac and deep brown – convey exclusivity and are especially suited to corporate reception areas and executive offices. Textile offers greater flexibility, with a wide range of colours and textures that can be tailored to suit the style and function of the space.
