The tub chair, its back curving round to become its arms, has a long pedigree. Eighteenth-century French upholsterers made the gondola-backed bergère for exactly this kind of enclosed, sociable comfort. This chair keeps that embrace and reworks the rest in the sculptural spirit of modern Italian design, much of it made in the furniture towns that lie between Como and Milan.
The back sweeps in one continuous curve into gently angled arms, and the whole form comes down to the floor as three solid upholstered legs rather than four thin ones. It is padded throughout with dense foam, the seat is a deep rolled cushion, and it is covered in a stain-resistant performance velvet, which keeps velvet's soft pile while coping better with everyday life. Non-marking glides protect the floor, and it arrives fully assembled.
Set one beside a fireplace with a reading lamp, or pull a pair up to the ends of a dining table. It is the chair for a long novel, a glass of wine, or a cat that has claimed the seat.
