What makes an armchair a designer armchair?
A designer armchair combines form and function in a way that goes beyond comfort alone. Think organic curves, balanced constructions and carefully chosen fabrics or leathers. These armchairs often carry names that hint at art, and that is precisely the point: alongside seating comfort, the aesthetic value counts here too. It is a piece that makes a statement.
Materials and finish
The look of a designer armchair stands or falls with the material. Leather gives a timeless, luxurious look and ages beautifully, while fabric adds softness, colour and texture. The finish, from a sleek metal frame to a shaped wooden base, completes the silhouette. Because form leads in design, the model is usually fixed; the fabric or leather choice can sometimes be adapted to your taste.
Placement: an armchair as a statement
A designer armchair looks its best when you give it room. Place a single armchair as an eye-catcher in an otherwise clean space, where it stands as a sculpture in its own right. Or place two armchairs opposite the sofa for an inviting conversation corner. Leave some air around it, so the shape stays visible from every angle and the piece really speaks.
Test the comfort yourself
Design and comfort often go together, but comfort is not always the designer's first priority. How an armchair sits is also personal: seat height, depth and the angle of the back feel different to everyone. That is why trying it out is the best advice. In our showroom you can tell straight away whether a model suits your body and the way you sit.
Care that respects the shape
Good care keeps a designer armchair at its best for years. Leather stays supple with a suitable care product and out of strong direct sunlight, so the colour stays even. Vacuum fabric regularly with a soft brush and treat stains quickly. Wipe a metal or wooden frame with a suitable soft cloth. That way the piece keeps its clean lines and its presence.
