The tub chair, its back curving round to become its arms, goes back at least to eighteenth-century France, where the gondola-backed bergère was built for close, comfortable conversation. This one keeps that sense of being held and recasts the rest as sculpture, in the spirit of the modern furniture made in the Brianza hills between Como and Milan.
The back sweeps in one unbroken curve into gently angled arms, and the chair stands on three solid upholstered legs rather than four slender ones. It is padded throughout with dense foam and finished with a deep rolled seat. The covering is bouclé, a fabric woven from looped yarn (the name comes from the French for curled), which gives it a soft, nubbly surface you will want to touch. Non-marking glides protect the floor, and it arrives fully assembled.
It earns a corner of the sitting room with a small side table and a lamp, or the end of a bedroom by the window. Coffee in the morning, a book in the afternoon, and a throw over the arm by evening.
