INDE Awards Winner 2022
– The Object

Recognised for its functional yet distinct form, the Zephyr Lounger introduces a new element to the outdoor realm and leads you to believe you were gliding away on a yacht while seated in its embrace. A reflection of the considered design, the graceful, windswept lines of the seat and backrest take on a sail-like pose and create the framework for form-fitting upholstery. The nautical-inspired chair encapsulates both Tait’s strong brand identity and Charles’ understanding of the intricacies involved in good design for everyday life.

The Zephyr Lounger is on display at the Tait Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane showrooms. Contact the team for more information.

Charles Wilson

In speaking of his preference to design furniture, Wilson explains “in the digital age, it’s one of the few practices which truly addresses human factors due to the ergonomic considerations required of a piece”. Distinguishable by sophisticated ergonomics, fluid forms and sinuous lines, Wilson’s work reveals an inherent mid-century modern influence. Wilson has worked with some of the most renowned furniture houses internationally including; Herman Miller and Menu, and holds several accolades, including; The Australian Design Award for Menu, The Bombay Sapphire Design Award and Indesign Luminary.
