Linear and elegant, classic and distinctive, spacious and high-quality − Cura, the cantilever chair designed by wiege is a high-calibre lounge chair. Perfectly contoured upholstery combines with a special frame construction, giving the chair an unmistakable uniqueness. The chair is not only extremely comfortable but should also turn heads; it merges naturally with any interior design theme − in a foyer, a lounge or in a private setting too.

The heart of the new chair is the subtlety distinctive construction: the frame comprises a classic, cantilever steel tube frame that connects to paired steel bands which support the upholstery body and outline its form. The spacious, fully upholstered, slightly contoured seat is accentuated as a clear “architectural” shape by the side facings of the cushioning and the rectangular form.

Cura cantilever chair. Design: wiege. The linear form of the upholstery and the striking manner in which the tube terminations connect to the paired steel bands that outline the form give Cura a classically elegant appearance

The attractively finished upholstery with a steel frame with tension springs embedded in foam provides firm, yet lasting seated comfort. Exchangeable, handcrafted covers, optionally in an exceptionally high-quality woollen fabric or leather, underline the enduring high quality of this cantilever chair. Armrests are optionally in wood with walnut veneer or covered and fully upholstered to match the covers.

The side facings of the seat, crafted in accordance with traditional upholstery techniques, give Cura a clear architectural form. Two horizontal, outstitched seams on the curved section underline the coherently designed, gently contoured backrest and seat sections

The chair is completed by matching low tables with a skid-base frame structure in round steel tube, measuring 54 x 54 cm or 60 x 150 cm, each 36 cm high, with real wood veneer.
