Looking for oriental couch/lounger

ps2000

Couldn't find one in the shop.

I hope that somebody knows a product where one is included.

The only item I could find that somewhat resembles an oriental couch is included in the moroccan tent.

But it's not exactly what I am looking for.

Any suggestions are  appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure what you're looking for (posting an image of what you want might be an idea) but here's what I could find in my own library:

Eastern Tent Room  -  https://www.daz3d.com/catalog/product/view/id/023266
Morocco Balcony  -  https://www.daz3d.com/catalog/product/view/id/057139
Modular Moroccan Building Set  -  https://www.daz3d.com/catalog/product/view/id/063581

This? Like Taoz said, it's unclear what you are after.

I look for something like the couch in the eastern tent room Taoz posted. A padded couch or lounger. 

Thanks for that.

With oriental I mean middle eastern/muslim backround.

Further suggestions are very appreciated.

As you asked, here are some Middle Eastern props you could use.

BTW, the term "oriental" can cover anything from SE Asia to the Middle East. It's also now considered an outdated term and by some offensive when used to refer to people, like the term "Red Indian".

What could be even remotely offensive about "Oriental?" It means you are from the Orient, just as "Occidental" means you are from the Occident, it doesn't have any other connotation; it's, as far as I can tell, as neutral a designation as it could be. I am legitimately curious, not trying to argue.

Well, according to the google.com it's a word that should be used to refer to things not people. However, I am not Asian so I cannot speak for them as to weather or not it would be offensive to them if used to refer to people.

I heard about this a while back. If you go to this link (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orient) and read the American English section, you will see the explanation for why it is no longer universally accepted here in the US. Personally, I don't use it anymore.

I tend not to use it because it paints in too broad strokes a group of cultures that is far more diverse than Western Europe, so it is effectively useless as a descriptor, but it's news to me that people have been using it in a derogatory manner. I am starting to think that the anglosphere has some problems we foreigners never even suspected.

Thanks, I actually had that one wishlisted and with 50% off I'm going to grab it.

The issue with using a broad term like oriental hasd been noted and explained, any further discussion is inevitably going to get political so please refrain.
