Haus® carries designer lounge chairs from Vitra, Gubi, and Artek in Malaysia. All pieces are original manufacturer productions, not replicas or licensed copies.
The collection spans armchairs, full loungers, and reclining designs with ottomans, suited for living rooms, reading corners, and home accent spaces. Styles range from midcentury classics to contemporary forms, each produced by the original manufacturer to the designer's specification.

Most lounge chairs need a footprint of around 80 to 100 cm wide and 80 to 90 cm deep. Allow at least 45 cm of clearance on each open side for comfortable movement. For reclining models, account for the added depth when the backrest is fully extended. Measure your intended floor space before purchasing.
Lounge or accent chair prices in Malaysia vary based on grade, material, and whether the piece is an original manufacturer production or a mass-market option. Entry-level options cover a wide range, while authentic originals from internationally recognised design brands represent a higher investment. The main price drivers are material specification, production origin, and the brand's manufacturing standards.
The terms overlap. "Lounge chair" typically refers to a more reclined, comfort-focused design, often paired with an ottoman. "Armchair" is a broader category covering both upright and relaxed styles. All lounge chairs are armchairs, but not all armchairs qualify as lounge chairs. The key distinction is seat angle and intended use: lounging versus upright sitting.
For fabric, vacuum regularly and spot-clean with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. For leather, wipe with a dry cloth and condition every few months to prevent cracking, particularly in humid climates. For knit, use a lint roller and avoid sharp objects near the surface. Check the manufacturer's care guide for model-specific instructions.
Lounge chairs come in fabric, leather, knit, rattan, and moulded shell forms. Fabric ranges from wool to boucle and performance weaves. Leather varies from full grain to corrected grain finishes. At Haus® exclusive furniture shop in Malaysia, available materials include fabric and knit variants across multiple colourways, depending on the chair model. Check individual product pages for specific upholstery options.
The right lounge chair for a Malaysian living room depends on four factors:
1. Size: Measure your floor space first. Compact options suit smaller rooms; larger reclining models work in open-plan layouts.
2. Use: For reading, prioritise back support and armrest height;. For accent seating, focus on silhouette and colour.
3. Material: In Malaysia's climate, fabric and knit upholstery hold up better than untreated leather.
4. Design fit: Midcentury pieces pair with warm wood tones; contemporary styles suit minimal interiors.
Buying a designer lounge reading chair in Malaysia requires checking four things before purchasing:
1. Authenticity: Ask whether the piece is an original manufacturer production and request documentation if needed.
2. Upholstery grade: The same chair model is often available in different fabric tiers at different price points.
3. Delivery and handling: High-end furniture requires careful transport. Confirm the retailer's delivery process before ordering.
4. After-sales support: Ask whether the retailer covers fabric replacements or structural issues.
Visit a physical showroom where available to test pieces before committing.
A lounge chair and a sofa serve different functions in a living room. The right choice depends on how much seating you need, how the room is used, and the available floor space.
1. Seating capacity: A sofa seats two to four people; a lounge chair is a single seat. Pair both if the room and budget allow.
2. Space: A lounge chair works well in a smaller room or as a second seating option alongside a sofa.
3. Use: A sofa suits households that regularly host guests; a lounge chair suits a personal reading or rest spot.
4. Design flexibility: A lounge chair can anchor a corner or act as a focal piece in a way a sofa cannot.
A lounge chair works well in a home office for rest breaks, informal calls, or reading, but should not replace a task chair for primary desk work.
1. For posture, choose a chair with firm back support and a seat depth that allows upright sitting. Upright armchair styles perform better in office settings than deep-seated loungers.
2. Avoid fully reclined or ottoman-dependent designs for desk-adjacent use. These are built for rest, not active sitting.
3. Pair the chair with a small side table to create a functional informal work area.
4. A lounge chair placed away from the main desk works best. It separates the rest zone from the work zone within the same room.
The best lounge chair for a home with children or pets is one with upholstery that is easy to clean and a stable frame that holds up to daily use.
1. Upholstery: Performance fabric and tightly woven textiles resist staining better than loose weave knit or untreated leather. Look for chairs with removable or replaceable covers where available.
2. Frame: A chair with four legs or a sled base sits more stably than pedestal or rocking designs.
3. Colour: Mid tone or patterned fabrics mask everyday marks better than light or very dark solids.
4. Maintenance: Check whether the upholstery can be spot cleaned or machine washed before purchasing, Manufacturer care notes are the most reliable guide.
