Choque Design delivers a new concept for rest and personal space with the Chaise Longue Aor. This furniture is designed for those moments when we need to take a break, read a book, or simply unwind. Its name comes from “aorist,” an ancient Greek verb tense that describes an action without defining a specific time, reflecting the chaise’s purpose: to create a space for timeless relaxation.

A shape for comfort

Designed by Dimitri Lociks of Choque Design and his creative team, the Aor is built around the human body. Its form is slim and serves more than one purpose. You can sit on it and place your books and other items within its structure. The whole chair seems to float because of its cantilevered design, giving a feeling of lightness. To make sure it fits everyone, the headrest can be moved to the right position for different body types, a key feature for genuine comfort.

The design has a special anatomical backrest that supports the back and spine. The headrest can be customized, so each person can find their perfect comfort spot. With its modern and attractive look, the Aor is a great pick for anyone wanting elegant and comfortable furniture.

Brazilian roots and smart design

The Aor’s look is a nod to Brazilian modernism, with its flowing curves that show a balance between its job and its appearance. It’s a product of both skilled handcraft and new technology. The structure is made from a single piece of bent stainless steel, creating a strong, distinct three-dimensional line. This frame is paired with fiberglass to complete its unique shape.

This clever construction creates an open space inside the chair itself. This area is perfect for keeping books or a tablet close at hand. While the mind gets a chance to rest, the body finds a refreshing position. In a time when our homes are our sanctuaries, the Aor helps people reconnect with themselves in a welcoming way. It shows the maturity of Brazilian design by successfully bringing together industry and craftsmanship. The curved shape is reminiscent of classic designs from the 60s and 70s but adds modern, practical solutions.

The thoughtful creation and user-focused features of the Chaise Longue Aor have not gone unnoticed. The piece was recognized for its innovative approach and quality, winning the SIT Furniture Design Award. This prize highlights the chaise longue’s position as a significant piece of contemporary furniture design. The successful partnership between Choque Design’s vision and Breton’s manufacturing has resulted in a celebrated and useful work of art.
