Landscape Forms has expanded its celebrated 21 line with the introduction of the 21 Lounge Chair, designed in collaboration with Grand Rapids–based Modello USA. Building on the popularity of the original 21 Chair, the new lounge version takes the line’s welcoming spirit and modern aesthetic a step further, offering outdoor seating that fully embraces relaxation while retaining the elevated simplicity that defines the collection.
Named for its generously proportioned 21-inch-wide seat pan, the 21 Lounge Chair carries forward the line’s “designed for anywhere and anyone” ethos. With a canted seat set lower to the ground, the chair accommodates a wide range of postures—whether sitting back with a laptop, leaning into conversation or simply stretching out under the sun. It’s a versatile solution for outdoor environments that demand durability, inclusivity and sophistication all in one.
“A lounge chair is just a natural fit for the 21 line,” says Ryan Heiser, Director of Design at Landscape Forms. “The original 21 Chair is loved for being spacious, more relaxed than a classic dining chair and more welcoming of different postures. The 21 Lounge Chair leans even further into this idea—canting back the same seat pan design, taking it lower to the ground and truly embracing relaxation outdoors.”
The 21 Lounge Chair mirrors its sibling’s honest approach to materials. Crafted from steel tubing and die-cast aluminum slats, it balances strength with refinement. Subtle details such as chamfered edges, soft curves and angled arms enhance comfort across multiple positions while underscoring the precision of its design.
“What’s great about the 21 Lounge Chair is that it plays really well between the traditional and the modern,” notes Kirt Martin, Chief Innovation Officer at Landscape Forms. “The silhouette is familiar yet with this exacting, modern precision—especially in details like the die cast panels on the seat and back. This allows it to work with such a wide range of tables, in such a wide range of environments and never really look out of place.”
Despite its generous proportions, the 21 Lounge Chair is also space-conscious, stacking up to four high for efficient storage. Offered in a wide range of colors with Landscape Forms’ proprietary Pangard II® polyester powdercoat, the chair resists chipping, fading, and peeling.
The result is a chair that is as versatile as it is inviting—a modern classic in the making, designed to support relaxation while seamlessly fitting into both social and contemplative outdoor spaces.
