Fauteuils Chairs Tafels Heritage Collection
Countless designers have been inspired by the idea behind the chaise longue. The C248 Chaise Longue is the interpretation of Geoffrey Harcourt from 1970. A perfect seat on which to stretch out and unwind. A monument in the modern interior. Also known as Cleopatra. The Chaise Longue, also known as the Artifort Cleopatra, was designed by Harcourt into a powerful, organic shape. The iconic seating element follows the shape of the human body. The C248 can be perfectly combined with other Artifort furniture and is a showpiece for homes, hotel lobbies and lounges.

Geoffrey D. Harcourt (1935) trained at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1962, he designed his first series of small office fauteuils for Artifort. His designs introduced Artifort to the international market for contract design. In the beginning, Harcourt designed mostly seats for reception areas. His first design for Artifort, the 042 series in 1963, was an immediate international success. His philosophy is that the chair should focus on the person and not the other way around. “First the person, then the chair.” Harcourt has won many prizes and in 1978 was awarded the title of "Royal Designer for Industry".
