Otto feels familiar without being referential—soft, sculptural, and expressive, with a silhouette that belongs as easily in a modern room as it does in a gallery.
Max on Otto
Otto was designed in response to a simple observation: our homes
are becoming smaller while our lives within them continue to expand.
I wanted to create a lounge chair that provides comfort when it is
needed and space when it is not. One that feels generous to sit in,
yet occupies as little room as possible between uses.
The result is Otto. A chair designed to support both the body and
the space around it.
“The goal was not to make a different chair. The goal was to make
a chair that behaves differently.”
— Max Gunawan, Designer

A few things worth knowing
What is the Founder Edition?The first 100 Otto chairs are part of our Founder Edition. Each chair is individually numbered and personally signed by designer and Lumio founder Max Gunawan. Once the Founder Edition sells out, it will never be produced again. Otto will continue as part of our regular production collection.
I’m still not sure about purchasing Otto because I haven’t sat in it.We get it. It’s important to feel confident about a chair before bringing it into your home.
We work with real people in real living spaces to show how Otto is used in everyday life as honestly and realistically as possible.
At the moment, Otto is available exclusively through our website—no showrooms, no retail markups for empty floor space. Instead, every Otto comes with a 60-day in-home trial. Unfold it in your own living room and decide for yourself, in the comfort of your own home.
Returns are easy and accepted after the initial 15-day trial period.
What materials are used to make Otto?Premium bio-based cactus leather, high-density structural foam, precision-machined metal joints, and a smooth, skin-like silicone frame finish. We chose cactus leather for both how it feels and what it represents—conscious design that doesn’t ask you to compromise on luxury.
Is Otto comfortable for long periods of lounging?That’s the entire point. Most folding furniture sacrifices comfort, and most comfortable furniture sacrifices space. Otto was designed to provide the comfort of a dedicated lounge chair while remaining compact enough for modern living. Its curved frame, ergonomic suspension system, and high-density cushioning are designed to support relaxed sitting for reading, working on a laptop, watching movies, or simply doing nothing at all.
Why is Otto different from other folding furniture?Most folding furniture is designed to save space first and prioritize comfort second. Otto was designed the other way around. Comfort came first. The ability to fold came second. The result is a true lounge chair when open, yet one that can quietly step aside when life asks for a little more room.
What is your return policy?Every Otto includes a 60-day in-home trial.
We recommend spending at least 14 days with the chair before making a decision, as furniture often feels different once you’ve lived with it for a while.
If Otto isn’t the right fit, returns are accepted between Day 15 and Day 60, provided the chair is returned in its original packaging.
Where do you ship?We currently ship worldwide. For most destinations, shipping, duties, customs fees, and taxes are included in the purchase price, so there are no surprise charges waiting at your door.
If I damage a panel, do I need to replace the whole chair?Not at all. One of Otto’s core design principles is repairability. Individual panels can be replaced separately, helping extend the life of the chair while reducing unnecessary waste.
Is Otto suitable for tall users?Otto comfortably accommodates a wide range of body types.
Because the seating surface is generous and flexible, users of different heights can settle into the chair comfortably.
That said, comfort is personal. It often comes down to where you prefer the chair to support your back and body.
To help you judge for yourself, we feature people of different heights using Otto and indicate their approximate height whenever possible.
What is the maximum weight capacity?Otto is designed to support users up to 300 lbs (136 kg). Like any lounge chair, it is intended for normal seated use and is not designed for standing or jumping.
How flat does Otto fold?Down to a slim 15 cm profile and approximately 25 cm wide at the base—roughly the footprint of a stack of magazines.
Is Otto heavy or difficult to move?Otto weighs approximately 22 lbs (10 kg). It’s substantial enough to feel stable, yet light enough to move easily using the integrated rollers.
For short distances, the hidden rollers allow Otto to glide smoothly across most indoor flooring surfaces.
Although we didn’t design Otto for travel, we’ve found ourselves taking it to unexpected places. It folds flat and is easy to carry when needed (a carrying case is coming soon).

THE NEW YORK TIMES“Lumio introduced their second object that similarly trades in the thrill of the unexpected. Teno will ultimately be successful because people are able to touch and feel it and be surprised.why what Lumio does works so well.”
