Basset Lounge is a sculptural chaise lounge designed by Parasite 2.0 as part of The Pet Collection by Elanco, a collection that reinterprets the relationship between design, domestic space and the animal world.

The design draws inspiration from the distinctive elongated silhouette of the Dachshund, transforming its characteristic features into a functional yet highly recognisable piece of furniture. The long upholstered surface forms the animal’s body, while the cylindrical backrest and sculpted extremities evoke its head, long drooping ears and tail. A bone-shaped metal tag is featured on the rear.

The entire surface is upholstered in a soft, subtly shimmering brown fabric, featuring an undulating pattern that runs lengthwise across the seat and backrest. Variations in the way light interacts with the surface enhance the tactile quality of the upholstery and emphasise the object’s sinuous forms.

The upholstered component is supported by a metal structure with rounded forms, left exposed along the entire lower perimeter. The metallic finish of the base creates a striking contrast with the softness and deliberately ironic character of the upholstery, giving the piece an identity that lies somewhere between furniture, sculpture, and conceptual design.

The structure is made of metal, wood and upholstered materials and measures 80 × 190 × 40 cm.

Basset Lounge is part of The Pet Collection by Elanco and was designed by Parasite 2.0, an architecture and design studio whose practice spans architecture, design and scenography. The studio has collaborated with institutions and brands including the Venice Architecture Biennale, Fondazione Prada, Copenhagen International Fashion Fair, IKEA, Missoni and SUNNEI.

Halfway between art and design, the piece is conceived as a true collector’s item, primarily intended for display and capable of adding character and personality to any space. It can also be used, provided it is handled with the care and caution appropriate for a collectible design piece.

The work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by a co-author and representative of Parasite 2.0. The certificate will be shown and provided to the successful bidder.
