The Belvedere Velvet Chaise

A chaise, properly made — gently curved back, generously cushioned orthopedic seat, tapered solid-wood legs that hold it off the floor with some dignity.

The velvet catches light the way good velvet does, and wears in rather than out. Underneath, the seat is built for a body that will land on it hard and sleep on it for hours.

The zippered cover comes off, because it will need to.
