Mid-Century Black Leather Chaise Longue – Philip Johnson

This mid-century black leather chaise longue Revit family features an ergonomic cantilevered tubular chrome frame with horizontal padded cushions. Modelled after classic modernist cantilever seating, this chaise longue features an ergonomically curved profile supported by a continuous bent tubular steel base. The seating surface is upholstered in sleek black leather, divided into segmented horizontal fluted bolsters fastened directly along the contoured chrome perimeter rails. The floating cantilevered design balances visual lightness with structural strength, eliminating rear upright legs. High-polish chrome metalwork creates clean reflections, while the deep black upholstery adds subtle tactile rhythm across the fluid wave of the seat, leg rest, and high-angled backrest.

The download is a 276 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Designed for clean coordination in Revit, this furniture family inserts as a floor-hosted element ready for interior space planning. The lightweight geometry ensures smooth navigation within larger BIM models without bloating project file size. Subcategory materials enable straightforward assignment of chrome glossiness and leather bump maps in Revit rendering dialogs or external visualization engines.

Ideal for architectural visualization scenes and design documentation, this iconic lounge piece suits upscale residential living spaces, executive corner suites, modernist architectural pavilions, and high-end hotel presidential rooms. The piece pairs naturally with minimal area rugs, low stone coffee tables, and floor-to-ceiling curtain wall glazing. Interior designers routinely specify this form when sourcing modernist daybeds, cantilever chaises, or architectural statement chairs.
