Source International Introduces Charm Lounge, Designed by Gemma Bernal

A sculptural new lounge chair that embraces warmth, versatility, and performance

Source International is elated to announce the launch of Charm, a new lounge chair designed by acclaimed Spanish designer Gemma Bernal. With its welcoming form, seamless curves, and thoughtful detailing, Charm is a compact yet sculptural seating solution that radiates warmth, comfort, and versatility across multiple market applications.

When envisioning Charm, Gemma Bernal sought to create “a small, inviting seat that exudes a sense of warmth and comfort—like a gentle hug that envelops you.” Its design eliminates hard edges, ensuring every point of contact feels soft and natural. Defined by two harmonious elements—the sculptural backrest that flows to the floor and the pouf-inspired seat—Charm achieves a clean, cohesive silhouette that is both bold and approachable.

Charm is not only a design statement but also a performance-driven solution. The lounge chair meets BIFMA X5.41-400 Large Occupant Public and Lounge Seating standards, supporting users up to 400 lbs. while offering a Limited Lifetime Warranty. With this level of durability, Charm delivers outstanding longevity for high-use environments.

To meet the diverse needs of modern spaces, Charm offers five versatile base options:

— Solid wood bun feet

— Black plastic glides w/Urethane Floor Protection

— Standard casters

— 360-degree swivel ring base

— 360-degree swivel ring base with auto-return swivel

An optional leather handle in black or brown can also be specified on the chair and coordinating ottomans, making caster-based versions easy to move and reconfigure—ideal for flexible facilities.

“Charm was designed with intention,” said Gemma Bernal. “Its form is simple yet bold, sculptural yet inviting, embodying a balance of comfort, clarity, and harmony that adapts beautifully to many settings.”

From corporate to hospitality to education, Charm provides a versatile seating solution that merges elegance with function, making it a natural fit for projects where design and performance must work seamlessly together.
