Armchairs: the balance between ergonomics and aesthetics

The armchair represents the ultimate expression of individual comfort in interior design. Unlike the sofa, which is a social and shared element, the armchair is a personal sanctuary that allows for greater stylistic freedom. This piece has the ability to break the visual monotony of a room, introducing new textures, colors, or organic shapes that energize the space. Our collection ranges from reinterpretations of timeless classics to contemporary designs in bouclé, solid wood, or metal, all designed to offer ergonomic seating and exceptional durability.

Strategic advantages of incorporating a designer armchair

  • Visual hierarchy: A designer armchair acts as a statement piece, attracting the eye and elevating the aesthetic category of the whole set.
  • Functional versatility: These are movable elements that allow the layout of the room to be reconfigured according to social needs or daily use.
  • Personalized comfort: Allows you to choose a specific ergonomics (firmer, more enveloping) adapted to the main user, something difficult to achieve in a family sofa.
  • Contrast of textures: It's the perfect opportunity to introduce bold materials (velvet, leather, wool) that we wouldn't dare to use in larger pieces.

Tips for choosing the right piece

To successfully integrate an armchair, we recommend applying the rule of complementary contrast: don't try to exactly match the fabric or color of the main sofa. Instead, seek harmony through difference. If you have a sofa with straight lines and a neutral color, an armchair with curved shapes and a vibrant tone or rich texture (like bouclé) will add dynamism. Also, consider scale: make sure the armchair's back doesn't block important sight lines or obstruct walkways, maintaining a smooth flow of movement around the piece.

Frequently asked questions about armchairs

  • What is the technical difference between an armchair and a sofa?

    Although colloquially used as synonyms, technically the armchair usually has a slightly higher backrest and a structure designed for prolonged rest, while the sofa may have more compact dimensions and lower backrests.

  • Are rattan armchairs suitable for indoors?

    Absolutely. Natural rattan adds warmth and is a trendy interior design. It's simply recommended to pair it with suitable cushions to optimize seating comfort and protect the fibers.

  • Which fabric offers greater durability?

    For heavy-duty use, high-tech synthetic fabrics (such as heavyweight polyester or chenille) offer excellent abrasion resistance and ease of cleaning compared to more delicate options like pure linen.
