Artifort F 584 or F 585 Lounge Chair
In 1967, Harcourt designed a series of swivel armchairs with trumpet bases, based on a shell shaped template. The shell is large enough to curl up in and is the paragon of his philosophy that “the chair should focus on the person, and not the other way around.” To begin with, there are different versions of the chair for men and women (with high and low backs respectively). These were later followed by models with stitched edging, fixed cushions and deep-buttoned padding.

“First the person, then the chair.” - Geoffrey Harcourt
Trained at the Royal Academy in London, Harcourt designed his first series of open-armed chairs for Artifort in 1962. His design for Artifort, the 042 series in 1963, was an immediate success and brought Artifort to the attention of the international market. His philosophy is that the chair should focus on the person and not the other way around.
Considered a monument in the modern interior, his 1970 Chaise Lounge for Artifort is a “perfect seat for stretching out and letting yourself go.” Harcourt has won many prizes and in 1978 was awarded the title of Royal Designer for Industry.
