In response to the succesful launch of &tradition's catch chair by acclaimed designer Jamie Hayon, follow by a swivel-based version, &tradition is now introducing their latest member of the series: The Catch Lounge chair.

With its outstretched arms like a friend ready to greet you with a warm, welcoming hug, the Catch Lounge Chair builds on Hayon’s penchant for humour and personification.
At the same time, it introduces a higher back and elongated seat in a singular shell supported by a metal armature. The result is a leisure chair that’s angled back just a bit – so you can sit down, relax and, as the name implies - lounge.
- The more we work with Hayon, the more we appreciate his ability to bring humanity and warmth to all his concepts, says &tradition Brand Director Martin Kornbek Hansen.
- Historically, classic lounge chairs had a somewhat aloof aspect to them. However Hayon has managed to make the Catch Lounge Chair more personal and inclusive, setting the scene for a more intimate atmosphere and conversation. Which coincides with our Danish idea of cosy. Something we call hyggeligt.

As Hayon sees it:
- A lounge chair should be inviting to look at. In a way, it should be almost irresistible. Meaning you can’t help but sit back, get comfortable and have a chat. That’s what I wanted to achieve. With the added element of the two arms, like a friend, happy to welcome you.
