Description
The Giselle Lounge Armchair by Cattelan Italia is the lounge expression of the Giselle family, designed by Maurizio Manzoni. Its low, wide proportions reinterpret the collection’s signature enveloping ashwood arc at a relaxed lounge scale, creating an inviting armchair for living rooms, reading corners, hospitality lounges, and refined interiors. The generously upholstered seat and floating backrest bring visual lightness to its substantial 86 cm-wide form. This Standard Upholstery version is available in eight material categories — Fabric, Micro Nubuk, Synthetic Leather, Soft Leather, Glove Soft Leather, Magnifica, Nabuk, and Perfetto — with 136 upholstery finishes in total.
Key Features

- Low Lounge Proportions: With a 40 cm seat height, 86 cm width, and 93 cm depth, Giselle Lounge is designed for relaxed, extended seating in living and lounge environments.
- Enveloping Solid Ashwood Frame: The continuous curved frame forms the legs, sides, and armrests in one sculptural profile around the generous upholstered volumes.

Upholstery swatches are a close digital representation only. Actual material tone, grain, texture, and finish may vary slightly from what is displayed on screen. As natural materials, leather and wood will have inherent variations that contribute to the individual character of each armchair.
Optional Lumbar Cushion
The optional lumbar cushion selection must be made at the time of order. When selected, it is upholstered in the same material category and colour as the main seat and back upholstery.
Materials & Construction
Solid Ashwood Lounge Frame

Upholstered Lounge Composition
The seat and floating backrest are upholstered in the selected Standard Upholstery material. The optional lumbar cushion, when selected, is upholstered in the same material and colour to maintain a unified, coordinated composition.
