Inspired by the soft, rounded shape of river pebbles, the Poppy modern lounge chair invites a natural, relaxed way of dining.
The designer lounge chair by Enrique Marti pays aesthetic tribute to nature’s organic forms while embracing the clean simplicity of contemporary minimalism.
Blending gentle curves with clean lines, Poppy creates a distinctive look that complements a wide range of interior styles, from laid-back cafes to upscale dining lounges.
At its core, Poppy is about comfort, simplicity, and form that feels familiar. It's a piece that fits effortlessly into its environment, while still standing out for its quiet elegance.
Thoughtfully Designed Curves
Poppy’s gentle curves don’t just add visual appeal—they serve a purpose.
The low-profile, laid-back form are shaped to encourage a relaxed, comfortable posture that encourages guest to stay longer without crowding the floorplan.
Whether used in a café, bar, or lounge, the chair is designed to support natural movement without forcing the body into a rigid position.
The option to include armrests adds to its versatility, making it suitable for both informal social spaces and more refined settings. The design is compact but generous, maximising comfort without demanding too much room.
Subtle Strength in Structure
At the foundation of the Poppy Lounge Chair is its intelligently designed leg profile.
This gently legs not only contribute to its visual lightness but also enhance load distribution and balance. Even in its three-legged version, the chair remains incredibly stable and grounded, thanks to this purposeful structural design.
Fine Craftsmanship, Clean Finish
The devil is in the details. Taking a close look at Poppy will reveal thoughtful, better value engineering. The lounge chair features a sleek, uninterrupted form with no visible screws or fixing.
Another notable detail lies at the junction between the backrest and the seat—where clean transitions and tight tolerances reflect the precision and workmanship behind each chair.
