Luxury Chaise Longues
Chaise Longue
A chaise longue is the ultimate in luxury living – and perfect for making a statement in a grand entrance hall. Le Corbusier himself described it as the ultimate relaxing machine. Egyptian in origin, the chaise longue has featured in homes and gardens throughout history and around the world. Loved in Egypt, Rome and China, by French noblewomen, Victorian ladies and Hollywood starlets — not to mention Freud — its unending popularity speaks volumes for its universal appeal. At Juliettes Interiors, every chaise longue is designed for comfort, whilst adding a splash of glamour. Once you have reclined on one of these, you may never want to get up again.
