The Comfy Chair Alternative That Puts Clunky Recliners To Shame

Your living spaces are designed to provide comfort and relaxation, entertain guests, and showcase your home's interior. The sofas and other seating, specifically, the recliners you choose, should be functional and mirror your personal style. However, as practical as they may be, many ordinary recliners tend to be clunky, loud, and, at times, a little bit unsightly, especially as they age. For this reason, you may consider investing in more unique seating, such as a Maralunga lounge chair, as your living room's choice of furnishings.

Designed by Italian architect and furniture designer Vico Magistretti in 1973, his pieces were inspired by rebuilding needs post World War II. The Maralunga lounge chair and the Maralunga sofa are pieces that were designed to provide comfort and timeless elegance. Whether you are drawn to furniture that beautifully illustrates mid-century fashion or you want to decorate your home like an Italian villa, the Maralunga lounge chair brings a luxe vibe to any living space.

The Maralunga lounge chair, which can retail at over $2,500, is a high-end living room staple made from soft, premium fabric and is designed to last with its sturdy frame. Plus, the lounge chair's design complements a variety of decor styles. It comes with plush cushions and in a variety of upholstery fabrics, leathers, and color options that make it easy to fit in with different styles and home interiors. Unlike modern recliners, which typically deliver on function over style, the Maralunga makes for a great conversational sofa as well as providing a relaxing place to sit with its signature foldable backrest. 

The Maralunga's "bicycle chain" feature allows the headrest to be lowered or raised, though it evades the often loud and clunky system that many recliners offer. To get the full effect of a recliner, the Maralunga can also be purchased with an ottoman. You can remove the upholstery for easy cleaning if you choose the Maralunga 40-s fabric sofa. Many older recliner chair models do not have this option and require steam cleaners or other all-natural cleaning methods to bring upholstered furniture back to life. The fabric Maralunga sofa is a great option for those with pets or small children who still want to maintain a sense of opulence at home. Whether you choose the sofa or lounge chair, the Maralunga is a stylish piece of furniture that will stand out in your living room.
