Designed by Marcel Breuer, the design of the Long Chair spreads a person’s weight across a larger area than a regular chair, giving greater comfort.
The advertising at the time the chair launched claimed that 'the Isokon Long Chair gives scientific relaxation to every part of the body, immediately creating a feeling of well-being.'
The two-part Long Chair mould has been used for 35 years and is still going strong.
