Stone Forest – Chaise Lounge by Stone Forest
Carved from one piece of rare silver gray Italian marble, the Chaise Lounge by Stone Forest  is more sculpture than lawn furniture. Web-like inclusions run contrary to the horizontal veining inherent in the stone, giving the Chaise Lounge a spirit that those who appreciate stone and marble have come to expect. When used indoors, it absorbs the ambient room temperature, and when used outdoors it will absorb only enough sun to warm you and cradle you in its sensuous, flowing form.
