Smaller lounge scale
Aston Lounge brings the family's enveloping profile to a compact lounge chair. Minotti states a 43 cm seat height. The chosen little-armchair drawing prints 64, 58 and 74 cm, but does not label those values with axes.

Upholstered shell
Rubber-rich elastic webbing supports the metal structure. Minotti specifies flame-retardant polyurethane, a variable-density insert and bonded fibre laid over cotton canvas for the padding. The product page names both armed and armless lounge models.
Story
The lounge-scale Aston
The product page characterises Aston Lounge through its smaller scale and the same welcoming outline associated with the Aston chairs. Rodolfo Dordoni retained an enveloping back while setting the seat at 43 cm for use with lounge-height tables. The page lists the piece under Minotti's 2014 Collection edition rather than assigning a design year. This lounge model is shown in armed and armless versions.
