At the time, this use of molded plastic marked a shift: lighter, more fluid, and closer to the language of Space Age design than conventional upholstery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet within it, the seat reads as a series of volumes rather than a fixed form. Thick, generously padded cushions in cognac leather sit low and forward, their weight softening the frame. The proportions are deliberate—wide, grounded, and slightly reclined—encouraging a posture that is closer to lounging than sitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat defines the piece is this tension: structure and softness, clarity and collapse. The plexi frame holds its line, while the leather settles into it—creasing, folding, and taking on shape over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA chair that reads immediately from across the room, but reveals itself through use—material, posture, and silhouette working together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51821850689847,"sku":null,"price":7200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/8USABihw5-BgMaIiyipYWBq8fWD5Cz-is6FaXrhndCo.jpg?v=1774993099","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/marsala-cognac-leather-lounge-chair-by-michel-ducaroy-for-ligne-roset-1970s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
