摘要

The chaise longue can be such a diva. Oozing with attitude and often flaunting feminine curves, the dramatic piece inevitably becomes the star of the show-even when sitting in a corner. Typically 60 inches or more in length, the chaise longue (French for "long chair") is a seat that needs its space. "It's no secret that it can be difficult," says designer Anthony Baratta. "But it has a sculptural quality that can't be matched." Years ago, he upholstered a 1960s Milo Baughman chaise longue in vivid yellow and gave it pride of place in his Palm Beach living room. "Few people sit on it because it's not that comfortable," he admits, "but I'll never give it up."
