Baixa Lounge
Made by WENTZ
Designed by Guilherme Wentz
Guilherme Wentz conceived the Baixa Lounge as an argument for stillness. Its circular, ground-hugging form resists the vertical tension of conventional seating, drawing the body downward into a posture of genuine rest. The silhouette reads as simple, but its proportions are carefully negotiated, balancing a wide embrace with a structural clarity that keeps the piece from feeling heavy.
The chair is upholstered in WE-KNIT, a proprietary fabric engineered from recycled PET. The knit's continuous surface has no seams to interrupt the eye, and its texture offers warmth without weight. It is a material choice that reflects Wentz's broader sensibility: attention to process, care for origin, and an insistence that comfort and conscience are not opposites.
- Low circular structure designed for deep, relaxed seating

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is designer Guilherme Wentz?
Guilherme Wentz is a Brazilian designer and founder of the Wentz studio, known for furniture that brings together local craft traditions, considered materiality, and a quiet formal intelligence. His work is closely associated with a generation of Brazilian designers who treat sustainability as a design condition rather than an afterthought.
What is WE-KNIT fabric and how is it made?
WE-KNIT is a proprietary upholstery fabric developed by the Wentz studio using yarn spun from recycled PET bottles. The knit construction creates a seamless, continuous surface that is soft to the touch and durable in use, while significantly reducing the material's environmental footprint compared to conventional textiles.
Is the Baixa Lounge suitable for contract or hospitality projects?
The Baixa Lounge is available as a made-to-order piece and can be specified for residential and hospitality environments. Its low profile and circular form make it well suited to lounge areas where atmosphere and comfort take priority. Inquire directly for lead times, COM options, and volume considerations.
How does the Baixa's low profile affect everyday use?
The close-to-floor stance encourages a reclined, relaxed posture rather than upright sitting. It is designed for extended lounging rather than task seating, and its wide circular form accommodates a range of body positions comfortably.
