Description
Generous proportions and striking architectural details define the Avant Lounge Chair, creating a comfortable retreat for reading, conversation, or quiet relaxation. Its deep upholstered seat gently envelops the sitter, providing supportive comfort while maintaining a refined and inviting appearance. Bold timber arms and a sculptural base introduce visual structure and warmth, giving the chair a distinctive presence from every angle. Carefully balanced proportions create a sense of openness despite its generous scale, allowing it to function comfortably in both residential and hospitality interiors. The combination of soft upholstery and solid timber elements highlights the contrast between comfort and craftsmanship. Available in a range of upholstery and timber finishes, the chair offers a variety of material expressions while retaining its strong architectural character and welcoming form.

Resident
“I’d be ripping my hair out if something took more than half an hour to put together,” says Resident founder Simon James on the subject of flat-pack furniture, something he knows quite a lot about. “Most of our products wouldn’t have more than five or six screws, maximum, nor do they take longer than 5 or 10 minutes to put together.” That’s just one of the innovative qualities of the New Zealand contemporary design and manufacturing company established in 2011. With equal parts dedication to an authentic brand of craft and an eclectic but refined aesthetic, Resident has quickly made a indelible impression.
Set up in a cleverly international way with a small head office in Auckland and a distribution hub in the UK to equal the supply-time equal of its European counterparts, Resident manufactures both in New Zealand and Europe. (Partner Scott Bridgens’ knowledge of logistics comes from previously working as operations manager for Brit design firm Tom Dixon.) A small stable of designers, artists and architects—all New Zealanders and based in various parts of the globe—keeps things tight design-wise. As Simon says: “We’ve gone with people we know and whose work we admire.”
