In a stressed world, you may have many reasons to take a break but what if the reason is to just luxuriate in a chair that understands true comfort? A chair that entices you to take a break from work and surrender to its delightful charm. If you find yourself succumbing to such temptations, blame the chair. And why not? Luxury has never been in better form when presented as ‘the chair’. Take a look at these five chairs that have more to offer than what they cost:

Stressless from Ekornes, Stanley Boutique

First for the trivia – a discerning movie watcher may have seen this chair in Music and Lyrics starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. That aside, Stressless is a rather free-flowing recliner known for offering comfort however you need it. With positions to suit reading, lounging or television watching, this recliner seems to understand what the body needs. Comfort and style are served in dollops with a tag worth its weight. But for true lovers of luxury, the tag does not matter at all. The ones who can will buy luxury especially when wrapped in such comfort.
Price: Rs. 90,000.

iDesire from Osim
A highly innovative massage chair from Osim, IDesire is for holistic relaxation. It offers complete body massage with specific massage for the upper body, arm, seat, calf and the foot. There are eight pre-programmed massage sessions for different requirements. With latest massage techniques including acupressure and reflexology, this chair lulls you to complete surrender.
And there is accompanying music too. Its predecessor, iSymphonic, was voted as the invention of the year by none other than the Time magazine.
Price: Rs. 3,25,000.

MARCEL Chaise Lounge from VERDESIGN for Pallate
Designed by Giorgio Soressi, this stylish chaise lounge captures the essence of modernism. Simple in form and fluid in design, this tubular steel wonder has mobile positioning for contour comfort.

Boudoir Chair from Hickory Chair, Mon Chateau
What if you want a chair just to sit down for a while without any distracting features? A chair that exudes intimate luxury and solid comfort, well, something like the Boudoir chair designed by Mariette Himes Gomez. Unlike other chairs featured here, this is an armless chair but with  ample space. It also happens to be perfect for hours of chat and fun in the study, bedroom or any such location.
Price: Rs. 1,07,000.

Baluga Chair from KynKyny
Often, luxury is a lot more than comfort but beauty always remains a premium requisite. The Baluga chair, from the line of Box furniture, appeals to the reformed traditionalists who want ornate designs but clean and contemporary lines.

This chair is intricately carved but has a low back thus dispensing away the imposing look of a truly traditional chair. It is a classical beauty that luxury offers to any designer home.

Looking at high end luxury chairs, some may dwell on a simple question: who buys these chairs?
Many, according to Vasanthi Ram, Interior Designer, Mon Chateau. She says, “Customers typically spend about Rs. 10 lakh or more in furnishing a room. The elite are well travelled and prefer transitional or updated classic furniture.” That said, know that a chair is all about comfort and style. But for those who want respite from niggling back aches, take a few tips from the expert. Dr S N Omkar feels that using recliners or massage chairs may alleviate pain for a while but unless and until stress is eliminated true relief cannot be had.

A healthy back comes with a healthy neuromuscular system and it goes without saying that lifestyle needs to be changed for that stress free ambience. Sounds utopian but until then investing in a chair that will help is surely your best bet.
