STAR LOUNGER

The Star Lounger by artist Troy Smith is a striking example of contemporary collectible design and functional art, blending organic form and bold geometric accents. Characterized by its sculptural silhouette, the lounger merges futuristic aesthetics with a sense of luxury. Its form is fluid and dynamic, composed of curved, asymmetrical shapes that evoke motion and stillness as if the piece were poised to launch into the cosmos.

The lounger’s black velvet upholstery gives it a tactile quality, exuding luxury and comfort. A sophisticated and structural brass framework grounds the piece. The tips of the armrests, legs, and headrest are accentuated by polished brass caps, a feature that lends the piece a sense of precision and refinement, contrasting with the chair’s soft, curvilinear body. The brass highlights interact beautifully with the deep, matte finish of the velvet, adding a subtle yet effective visual interplay between light and shadow.

In terms of its functional aspect, the Star Lounger is ergonomically designed, providing comfort while maintaining its avant-garde appearance. The large, arching armrests and the dramatic high back evoke grandeur and playfulness, reminiscent of mid-century modern inspirations but with a futuristic twist.

As a piece of functional art, the Star Lounger occupies a unique space within contemporary design. It is both a sculptural object and a practical piece of furniture, serving as a testament to the ever-blurring lines between art and utility. Its bold design choices make it a centrepiece in any room, embodying the aesthetic of contemporary luxury with a nod to futurism. Collectors of modern design and fans of unique, boundary-pushing furniture pieces will appreciate the Star Lounger’s ability to blend form, function, and artistic statement seamlessly.
