Rocking chairs may evoke images of a bygone era when people passed the time on the front porch sipping tea, but the new Crest lounge chair from Encore turns that legacy on its head. This contemporary twist on a timeless classic encourages continuous movement and is anything but stagnant. In other words, this isn’t your grandfather’s rocker!
Conceptualized by Qdesign, Crest features an exclusive rocker base design that not only enables a more active sitting experience—a quality that encourages wellness in static environments—but also brings an element of playfulness. Its flowing geometric lines and generously proportioned seat and back invite users to get comfortable without becoming sedentary.
With mid and high back models available, Crest lounge is able to accommodate a variety of body types and preferences, providing optimal comfort within a slender profile. An accompanying footrest shares the open, light-scale aesthetic and when not in use, conveniently nests beneath the chair for storage ease.
Adding yet another element of versatility to the collection, the metal frame is available in graphite, metallic silver and satin black as well as colorful premium finish options. The lounge chair is also offered with upholstered arm caps or durable black urethane arm caps to outfit a range of environments, including higher education spaces, corporate touch-down areas and healthcare applications, among others.
“Crest is truly a one-of-a-kind lounge chair that captures the essence of a beloved classic while embodying the best elements of modern design,” says Tammie Alciatore, Encore’s Brand Development Manager. “Its lightness of scale lends a sense of refined styling, but its unique rocker base helps ensure that the form doesn’t overshadow its function. Crest is intended to be an enjoyable chair to sit in and once people experience it, we think they’ll agree,” she adds.
Whether resting, waiting or working, one thing is certain: Crest makes any experience more comfortable, active and fun!
