Daydreamer Chaise Longue by onlyonly Studio: A Contradictory Design Object
onlyonly studio, founded by architects Anna Līva Traumane and Harijs Vucens, has created Daydreamer, a chaise longue that embodies a contradiction: named after daydreaming, it aims to ground the user in the present. The piece features a precision steel structure supporting independent, asymmetric pads covered in natural latex, which separate the body into zones rather than forming a continuous surface. This design, which the studio calls transmorphic design, blends influences from fashion, photography, and contemporary art. Daydreamer debuted at the Design Biennale Rotterdam under the theme 'What's Real is Unfamiliar' and was later shown at Collectible Fair in Brussels, where it received an insider's pick from Brecht Wright Gander.
