Lyaeus - Dionysus the Greek God of wine, is also known as Lyaeus, “ he who releases,“ and as a God of relaxation and freedom from worry, his name is appropriated for this chair. Its purpose is to provide a place for active relaxation, a place to read, ponder, or enjoy the views. It can provide a feeling of escape from busy environments, without its occupant having to leave the immediate surroundings. Sun exposure is a primary concern, so it provides partial sun screening. It also controls the occupant’s field of view, to reduce distractions from the immediate environment, thus helping relax the eyes and mind, at the same time creating a sense of privacy. The subtle movements of the chairs base also contribute to its relaxing feel by means of its spring steel design. Its nautilus like form links it to the sea, and so it finds itself well suited for waterfront and pool environments, as well as patios, terraces, and rooftop lounges of hotels, resorts, and private residences alike.
