nothing helps get your mind of of losing a job like throwing yourself into a new project (thank you so much for all of your sweet thoughts yesterday, they meant more than you know). so i thought i’d compile a guide to chaises in between looking for jobs. next to credenzas, chaises are one of my favorite types of furniture. they’re so clean, elegant and somehow decadent- i love chaises upholstered in grey or caramel colored velvet or decked out with details like decorative woodwork. i’ve chosen over 60 of my favorites above and below, so i hope you’ll enjoy them. i’ve selected a wide range of chaises in a wide range of prices (which i’ve included whenever possible). also, it’s always great to check craigslist, ebay and 1stdibs for vintage chaises if you’re looking for a deal or something a bit more unique. don’t forget to click “read more” below or click here to see the full 60+ roundup.

Love the chaises, especially the ’80s style Bella (I’m a sucker for Seafoam green) and the over-the-top Birch-and-Cane.

I’m sorry they call them “chaise” now. I adored the victorian name of “fainting couch”

I love how Schuyler Samperton used a feminine chaise in a bedroom that’s otherwise not at all girlie. The rust upholstery keeps it from being too sweet:

Amazing selection Grace :)

Thanks for the wonderful round-up. I was psyched to learn that the old wire chaise my husband pulled from the dumpster a few months back is actually the Vladimir Kagan chaise you pictured. What a find!

Thanks again!

This is the best type pf seat in the house! I too, grew up calling them fainting couches. The one that I slept on in my grandmothers house will soon be mine. I also found one on the streets of Maine that I have reupholstered in a beautiful cut velvet damask. I think I might start a collection of them. They are beautiful.

wow. lovely! Thanks for the chaise round-up. :)

This also got me thinking about Karim Rashid’s Veuve Clicquot loveseat. So sexy!

Incidentally, I heard that Karim Rashid’s gonna be giving a lecture called Blurring Boundaries at the Singapore Design Festival. They’re also exhibiting his Veuve Clicquot loveseat! I’m really excited about it.

You can find out more about that event at http://www.singaporedesignfestival.com

Hate to post our own product, but I do it to simply answer Adrienne’s question. We carry a chaise that has a pull out full sized bed which we love. Enjoy! http://www.velocityartanddesign.com/product.php?productid=19185&cat=425&manufacturerid=&page=1
