Iconic “Cleopatra” chaise longue designed by Geoffrey Harcourt for Artifort in the 1970s, a sculptural and highly recognizable piece of modernist seating design. The Cleopatra model perfectly reflects Harcourt’s distinctive design language, combining organic curves with exceptional comfort and a striking visual presence. Its flowing, asymmetrical silhouette creates a dynamic form that appears almost like a sculpture within the interior. This original Artifort example has recently been professionally reupholstered in a high-quality wool blend fabric by Danish Art Weaving, giving the piece a refined contemporary look while maintaining its authentic character. The carefully selected fabric highlights the soft curves and continuous lines of the design, emphasizing the elegance of the chaise while ensuring durability and comfort. Resting on discreet metal casters, the chaise appears to float lightly above the floor, enhancing its graceful profile. The ergonomic shape offers excellent lounging comfort, making it not only visually striking but also highly functional as a relaxation piece or statement sofa. The Cleopatra chaise is widely regarded as one of Geoffrey Harcourt’s most expressive designs for Artifort, and remains a sought-after piece among collectors of Dutch modern design and 1970s sculptural furniture. With its newly upholstered condition and timeless aesthetic, it is both a functional lounge piece and a true work of art within any interior.
