House Note · About this piece

The idea of a chair built for leaning back is older than you might think. The Victorians had the Morris chair, with its adjustable back, and in the later twentieth century the furniture makers of Norway's Sunnmøre coast, around Ålesund, built a worldwide name for chairs designed for reclining. By then the comfortable reading chair had become the most personal seat in the house: the one that takes your shape and that no one else is quite allowed to use.

This one is set at a fixed, gentle recline, so there are no levers and no footrests to manage. The back is built in two tiers, each channel-tufted in horizontal bands, stitched lines that divide it into soft ribs, over high-density foam. The frame is solid wood and MDF, the arms are slim, and it is upholstered in a soft woven fabric. Beneath it, a metal base both swivels and glides gently back and forth.

It belongs in a nursery for late feeds, a bedroom with a book at bedtime, or a living room corner by a lamp where the evening paper can wait on the side table.
