The club chair took its name in 1920s and 1930s Paris, where the fauteuil club, deep and enveloping, moved from gentlemen's clubs into private drawing rooms. Its essential idea is a back and arms that wrap the sitter in one continuous curve, and decorators have been reshaping that curve, rounder or squarer, ever since.
This chair takes the curve as far as it will go. The back sweeps down into rolled arms that are gathered into soft pleats where they turn, and a fine line of French piping traces the edge. The seat cushion is thick foam, and the whole chair is covered in a stain-resistant performance velvet with a gentle sheen. It sits on discreet glides that won't mark the floor and arrives fully assembled.
Place it in a bedroom corner, beside a bookcase or angled towards the fire in a sitting room. It is made for an afternoon with a novel, a glass of something, and the cat.
