Dragonfly is a modern chaise lounge and armchair, modern with curvy lines, versatile and original.
The main strength of this item is the possibility of having an armchair and a chaise longue in the same product: the hinges placed on each side of the seat allow to flip the armchair with a single movement, therefore transforming it in a chaise longue whose bottom part shape follows, in a specular way, the lines of the back.
Apart from their mechanical function, the lateral hinges become a decorative detail which enriches the armchair - chaise longue outline.
