Sources Unlimited, India’s premier destination for high-end furniture and interior design, introduces the Totu Chaise-Longue by Fendi Casa, designed by Toan Nguyen, a piece that approaches seating with a sense of quiet intention.
Project Name: Totu Chaise-Longue
Studio Name: Sources Unlimited
Conceived to occupy a space without overwhelming it, Totu settles into the room with ease, offering both structure and softness in equal measure.
Set on a slender tubular metal base, the form appears lightly held, almost suspended. The frame, finished in a muted metallic tone, traces a clean outline that gives the piece its clarity. Against this, the upholstery shifts the experience entirely. Wrapped in a richly textured, deep teal fabric, the surface invites touch, its softness immediately apparent. The generous seat extends into a low, elongated profile, encouraging a more relaxed posture somewhere between sitting and reclining.
The backrest curves gently at one end, paired with a compact cushion that supports without interrupting the flow of the form. A larger accent cushion, rendered in a smoother, darker fabric with a subtle monogram pattern, introduces a quiet contrast. Together, these elements create a layered composition, where texture carries more weight than ornament. Totu is conceived as a place to pause. It lends itself to corners that invite conversation or moments of retreat, shaping an atmosphere that feels considered but never rigid. The balance between the metal base and the upholstered volume ensures that the piece remains grounded, even as its silhouette feels light.
Available at Sources Unlimited, the Totu Chaise-Longue reflects a design language that values proportion, material, and the subtle interplay between them – an object that holds its presence through restraint rather than excess.
