Estimated delivery time is 6–8 weeks. For more exact delivery time please contact us directly.
GB Lounge is a modular lounge sofa system produced by Karakter Copenhagen and designed by Dutch industrial designer Gijs Bakker. Originally created as an entry for a Dunlop foam design competition, GB Lounge began as a simple piece of foam bent at a 90-degree angle and set into a metal frame. The result is a relaxed, low-slung chair and sofa with an overstuffed silhouette that invites comfort.
First nicknamed “the Levi’s Chair,” Bakker’s intention was for the seating system to embody the same ease and familiarity as a favorite pair of jeans — a contrast to the formal and rigid designs of the previous generation. With its updated version, the GB Lounge now features subtle feet that lift it slightly off the ground, improving both ergonomics and aesthetics. The GB Lounge is available as a one-seater lounge chair and can be expanded into a modular seating system using connector elements.
