Siza Lounge
Designed by Pierre Sindre
Product Overview
The Mavis Siza Lounge, designed by Pierre Sindre, is a refined Scandinavian lounge armchair inspired by the architecture of Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza and his Pavilhão de Portugal, created for the 1998 World Exhibition in Lisbon. The chair translates the pavilion's distinctive architectural language into a graceful furniture design, with a thin, flowing seat form, elegantly tapered legs and sculptural armrests that echo the same visual expression.
Crafted from solid oak with a formed plywood back panel and leather upholstery, the Siza Lounge combines a generous, relaxed profile with carefully considered proportions. This version features white pigmented lacquered oak paired with cognac Tärnsö leather, creating a sophisticated contrast between the pale timber and warm leather. Its distinctive silhouette makes it well suited to lounges, reception areas, hospitality interiors, meeting spaces and contemporary residential settings.

Why Choose the Mavis Siza Lounge?
The Mavis Siza Lounge translates architectural inspiration into a distinctive and inviting piece of contemporary furniture. Pierre Sindre draws on the hanging roof structure of Álvaro Siza's Pavilhão de Portugal, creating the chair's characteristic thin, flowing seat form and repeating the same graceful expression through its tapered legs and armrests. The result is a lounge chair that feels sculptural without becoming visually heavy. The combination of white pigmented lacquered oak and warm cognac Tärnsö leather adds a sophisticated material contrast, while the generous proportions provide a comfortable seating experience. Crafted with carefully selected materials and delivered fully assembled, the Siza Lounge brings together Scandinavian craftsmanship, architectural influence and timeless contemporary design.
