Build your own

The aerodynamic, slightly reclined contours of the Downtown Lounge armchair invite you to sit back and relax. The differentiated-density padding and headrest cushion ensure exceptional seating comfort. The structure is available in a fixed version, with a solid wood base in various finishes, or a swivel version, with a four-spoke die-cast aluminum base. The base features a “Return” mechanism, allowing for 360° rotation and automatic return to the original position.

Concept and Design

With Downtown Lounge, Jean-Marie Massaud reinterprets the distinctive design of his namesake office collection to create a new, elegant, and sensual armchair. The Downtown Lounge armchair features a characteristic, slightly reclined position, promoting a natural and comfortable posture while providing full support up to the head. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for both residential spaces and lounge areas or waiting rooms. Seating comfort is further enhanced when paired with the Downtown Lounge pouf, offering a resting place for feet and total relaxation.

Designed by
Jean-Marie Massaud

Born in Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis. His collaboration with Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore.

His works have been awarded several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London, Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.
