Countless designers have been inspired by the idea behind the traditional chaise longue. Geoffrey Harcourt's interpretation from 1970 shattered all previous conceptions of the form and catapulted it into the modern realm. Acknowledged as a masterwork on a par with Pierre Paulin's greatest works, the Harcourt chaise lounge remains a functional icon of modern design. Integrated castors add to its appeal and usability in both commercial and high-end residential settings.

Geoffrey Harcourt played a critical role in Artifort’s development and transition into the contract furniture market in the early 1960s. His distinctively styled, ergonomic desk chairs gave Artifort international recognition and helped fuel rapid growth and expansion. Geoffrey Harcourt trained at the Royal Academy of Art in London and has earned numerous international design awards and honors. In 1978 he received the prestigious “Royal Designer for Industry” award by the RSA (Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce), a title introduced in 1936 to honor designers of excellence and promote important contributions of design in manufacturing and industry. Harcourt’s perhaps best known for his exceptional 500 Series of classic lounge chairs designed for Artifort. The chairs illustrate his talent for balancing clean aesthetics, superb ergonomics and comfort.
