Designed by Finnish designer Mika Tolvanen, who recently won the prestigious Bruno Mathsson design award, Lounge follows the Visu series’ Scandinavian expression with a discrete and timeless nature, blending ergonomics and functionality.

Throughout the design process, Muuto and Tolvanen worked together to reviewed every curve, edge and detail over and over again, leading Tolvanen to chose the name Visu – a reference to the Finnish word for precision.

“Visu Lounge is a natural continuation of the first Visu chair,” explained the designer. “The idea was to create a lounge chair, which is extremely comfortable – even without upholstery – and I believe that we have succeeded in this quest.

“The proportions of the chair are exactly right, and it is neither too big nor too low. The chair is able to combine an elegant curve with a compact and simple form.”

Visu Lounge is vailable in a variety of materials and colourways, including oak, black, grey, red and dark green.
