The Product

The High and Low Living range responds to variations in sitting habits of different cultures and situations and the mixing of these lifestyles in the contemporary age. The iconic western chaise lounge is thus extended to a carpet applied with eastern craftsmanship and pattern. The couch allows for 'high' sitting while the carpet on the other hand permits 'low' sitting within the same piece of furniture.
