Ric Geyer’s Lounger Chair is a striking example of design ingenuity, crafted from what he refers to as “performance grade plywood.” Unlike conventional plywood, this material is specifically engineered to bend and flex without losing strength, allowing for organic shapes and sculptural lines that traditional woodworking often restricts. The Lounger Chair demonstrates this versatility beautifully, with fluid curves that embrace the sitter while showcasing the raw elegance of wood in motion. It is both minimal and sophisticated, bridging the gap between functional furniture and artful design.

The use of bendable plywood gives the Lounger Chair a distinctive character—lightweight yet durable, sleek yet comfortable. Ric’s approach emphasizes performance as much as aesthetics, ensuring that the chair isn’t just visually compelling but also practical in everyday use. By manipulating plywood into seamless contours, he achieves ergonomic support and a modern aesthetic that highlights innovation in material use. The result is a chair that feels as though it’s in dialogue with the human form, redefining how natural materials can be adapted for contemporary living.
