Plush: adj; notably luxurious.

Is it stretching it to compare Hasu to a mushroom? This elegant and encompassing piece—whose name translates to “lotus flower” in Japanese—reminds us of the familiar form of the ubiquitous puffball.

Granted, puffballs aren’t as elegant as lotus flowers, which look as if they’re crafted from the most delicate pink porcelain, but, still, the species evokes something of the plush comfort of this lovely lounge chair.

And while Hasu is certainly commodious and inviting, it’s also elegant and precise. Designers Ludovica Palomba and Roberto Serafini see to that, as Hasu demonstrates “impeccable formal cleanliness, perfect proportions between seat and backrest, and visual purity.”

In other words, Hasu strikes a balance between comfort and aesthetic appeal. It’s familiar and inviting yet in excellent taste—appropriate in a gallery of priceless tapestries or fireside in a modern flat.

Hasu features a star-shaped base and wooden structure, making the chair both mobile and sturdy. Lema offers it in many different removable fabric coverings.
