The Asher Lounge Chair is a mid-century modern lounge chair built on a dramatic solid wood frame. From the side, the frame forms a bold zigzag: angled arms sweep back and down into the legs, and a crossing member supports the seat, so the chair looks as if it is leaning back in welcome. Thick upholstered seat and back cushions rest within that frame for deep, comfortable seating.
Shown in walnut with a rust-toned fabric, the Asher has the warmth of a classic 1950s living room, and it adapts easily to leather, faux leather or velvet. It is part of our Alpine Lodge and Steakhouse Collections and works well in pairs around a cocktail table or fireplace.
The frame is solid wood with mortise-and-tenon joinery and very few bolted connections, so it stays tight through years of daily service. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and the foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and is covered by our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment.
Keep at least 36" of clear walkway around lounge groupings and about 16" to 18" between the chair and a cocktail table; see our restaurant seating layout guide.
