BH | Studio Nayland Bolster-Back Bouclé Dining Chairs, Set of 2

The bolster, a firm, round cushion, has propped up daybeds and sofas since the neoclassical rooms of the late eighteenth century. Here it becomes the whole back of the seat, set on plump, fully upholstered legs in the rounded, soft-edged spirit of 1970s furniture.

Each chair is built from rounded forms: a circular seat, four plump upholstered legs and a cylindrical bolster for a back. The bolster meets the back just where it wants support, and dense foam padding throughout keeps the seat soft through the cheese course and beyond. Everything is wrapped in cream bouclé, a looped-yarn weave with a gently pebbled texture that feels warm to the hand. Each chair is rated to hold 330 lbs, and non-marking pads sit under the feet.

Set the pair at a round marble table in a small dining room, with a low pendant overhead and a bowl of pears in the centre. Between dinners they are accent chairs, tucked either side of a fireplace or set at the corners of a living room. Cream bouclé is at its loveliest in a soft, tonal scheme: limewashed walls, pale oak, travertine and a single sculptural vase of branches. This listing is for a set of two chairs.
