Comfort is more specific than it first appears. Seat depth determines whether an armchair invites you to stay or keeps you upright. Back support shapes whether it works for reading, conversation or simply being in a room. The behaviour of full-grain leather, bouclé or fine linen over years of use is as much a part of the decision as the silhouette facing you in a showroom.

The Italian and European designer armchairs and occasional chairs here are drawn from makers selected for the integrity of that thinking — proportion that holds in a room, upholstery that improves with age, and a clear understanding of the difference between pieces built for deep lounge use and those designed as refined occasional seating.
