Victorian Chaise Lounge

/vik-TOR-i-an SHAYZ lownj/  n.
  1. 1. A piece of upholstered furniture characterized by an elongated seat and an opulently curved backrest; esp. one that occupies the center of a room with an air of sovereign languor.
  2. 2. colloq. A lounge that won't sit neatly against any wall, showing off its curves like a duchess at a royal ball. The back end is where the drama happens.
In a sentence:

"The thiccc Victorian chaise lounge does not wait to be noticed; reclining upon her is an art form. The room's Feng Shui bowed to her silhouette."

Etymology:

From French chaise longue (lit. 'long chair'), adopted into English c. 19th century. The French clearly knew how to stretch out in style.

From the desk

Eliza HartwellStaff Writer

The backrest curves like it has a formal opinion about posture, and the room apparently agreed.

Ruling PROVISIONAL

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

The elongated seat and opulently curved backrest are on record. Confirm upholstery fabric before the profile is logged.

In the margin

Teddy VanceJunior Cataloguer

The entry says the room's Feng Shui bowed to her silhouette, and honestly, I think that is just good spatial awareness on the room's part.

Submitted: a string bean. It is long, it reclines, it occupies the center of a dish, and it lounges there with comparable authority.

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

It is a string bean. It is thin. This catalogue is closed.
