Primum Lounge Chair with Arms - Cognac Leather, Stainless Steel Base
Primum Lounge is the low, wide member of Bent Hansen's Primum family, designed by the Bent Hansen studio in 2012 and tested to EN 16139 for contract use.
Where the Primum dining chair sits you up, the lounge version sits you back: a 15-inch seat, a frame 30.3 inches wide and a back with flexible support that follows you as you move. Bent Hansen upholstered it all over in cognac Zenso 2, a semi-aniline leather from Brazilian hides, dyed through and protected against dirt, with armrests, on a swivel base in brushed stainless steel. The EN 16139 rating means it is built for offices and public lounges as well as a living room.

Is it suitable for a hotel or office lounge?
Yes. Bent Hansen tested the Primum Lounge Chair to EN 16139:2013 at level L1, the European standard for non-domestic seating in offices, showrooms, cafés, restaurants and public halls.
Can I return it?
No. The Primum Lounge Chair is final sale and can't be returned or exchanged, so please check the dimensions first. Report any transit damage or defect within 48 hours of delivery.
