Garbo

Garbo is a generously upholstered lounge chair inspired by the elegance of Art Deco and the functional clarity of Bauhaus. Its rounded, enveloping form and distinctive vertical upholstery detailing create a soft, sculptural expression suited to lounge, hospitality, workplace and residential interiors.

Designed by Alexander Lervik, Garbo began as a series of hand-drawn sketches before AI was used to explore the initial three-dimensional form. The design was then manually refined to balance comfort, proportion and function. The name references Greta Garbo and the cultural aesthetic of the early 20th century.
