Geiger Scissor Lounge Chair by Ward Bennett

December 21st, 2012

American designer Ward Bennett (1917–2003) designed the Scissor Lounge Chair in 1964, taking inspiration from the ubiquitous hammock-style chaise transatlantique of the mid-nineteenth century. Now, Geiger has re-introduced it for today’s lifestyles.

Scissor Lounge Chair

Bennett described the Scissor chair as his most comfortable chair ever. Its curved back provides a shallow cocoon for the body, and its rounded solid ash frame provides a gentle edge. The frame is available in a selection of stains and a range of fabrics or leather can be used for the upholstery.

Bennett was one of the earliest American designers to introduce industrial materials into the home – well before the high-tech look of the 1970s. He was hailed by the American Institute of Architects for “transforming industrial hardware into sublime objects.” From 1987, he worked with Geiger directly.
