"A simple, understated swivel armchair with a strong presence, yet without dominating the space."
- Geoffrey D. Harcourt

The F522 Lounge Chair, designed by Geoffrey D. Harcourt, is part of the iconic F500 series by Artifort. Developed from Harcourt's vision of informal, intuitive lounging, the series is shaped around the natural posture of the human body, combining generous comfort with a clear sculptural presence.

Originally introduced in 1984 and reissued in 2026 alongside the related F518 Lounge Chair, the F522 is defined by its generously proportioned seat and distinctive moulded shell with a removable upholstered seat pad. This layered construction enhances the chair's tactile character while maintaining the supportive comfort and enveloping form that define the collection.

Upholstered in high-quality fabric or leather, the carefully tailored elements highlight the refined contours of the design. Together with the F518, the F522 forms part of the enduring F500 series: a lounge collection that unites sculptural simplicity, ergonomic comfort and timeless versatility.

Swiveling disk base can be specified in a variety of powder-coat colors, delivered standard with a felt ring at the underside. Depending on the chosen upholstery, after a while pleats will appear. This cannot be avoided.
