The single seat is the most underrated piece of furniture in the house, largely because everybody starts with the sofa and works outward from there. A one seater asks for very little floor space and returns far more presence than its footprint suggests, which is why one can make such a difference when a room refuses to come together.
It is also the piece that quietly gives you the most options. A sofa commits you to a wall and a viewing angle for as long as you own it, while a single chair can face the window through the morning and turn back toward the fire when company arrives in the evening.
Here is the part that surprises people, because a single seat is not a compromise on anything that matters.
If you are unsure where to begin, order up to six free swatches and they will reach you within a few working days.
Most homes have a corner that has never quite worked, usually one too small for proper seating and too visible to leave empty. A one seater solves that problem in a way almost nothing else can, since it fills the space properly without crowding anything around it.
Choosing is less about the prettiest photograph and more about how much presence you want in the corner, since the silhouette changes a room’s mood more than the colour does.
THE CLASSIC ARMCHAIR Low rolled arms and a deeply buttoned back make the Chesterfield armchair the closest relative to the sofa. It is the natural choice when you already own a Chesterfield and want both pieces to speak the same language.
THE WING CHAIR A taller back and enclosed sides give the wingback chair more presence, creating the enclosed feeling that makes you settle in and stay. Several designs come in three heights, so the same shape suits a modest study or a tall drawing room.
BUTTON SEAT OR CUSHION SEAT A buttoned seat keeps the tufting running unbroken from back to base for the strictest traditional look, while a cushion seat offers something softer and more forgiving day to day.
HIGH BACK DESIGNS Worth considering if you are tall or if the chair sits against a plain wall, since the extra height supports your head and fills the space above.
A leather chair is the first thing most people picture, since a good hide only becomes more beautiful as its patina develops. A single seat is a small enough canvas to be adventurous with, so many people choose something here they would never risk across a full sofa.
A single chair asks very little from the rest of the room, which is exactly why designers keep reaching for one.
Walls that work. Soft white and warm neutrals let the chair become the focal point of the corner. Deep forest green or ink blue behind a tan hide is one of the loveliest pairings there is, and warm plaster tones flatter both the buttoning and the leg finish.
Textures that flatter. A solid wood side table and a floor lamp turn any chair into a reading corner, with aged brass and open shelving doing the rest. A Chesterfield footstool completes the lounging position and doubles as extra seating.
A single seat is forgiving in a way that large seating never is, though a few measurements will still save you from an expensive misjudgement.
Every chair is handmade in Manchester using time honoured techniques, so each seam reflects the care that goes into a piece meant to last generations, with the frame beneath carrying our ten year guarantee.
Widths vary by design, with wing chairs running wider than armchairs, and one of our wing chairs measures 118cm across. The exact dimensions for each design are listed on its own product page alongside seat height and depth.
Very much so, and it is often the sensible answer where a sofa would swallow the floor. A single seat gives proper seating without the width, which suits flats and terraced sitting rooms.
Beside a fireplace, under a window and angled toward the sofa so the conversation opens up. Corners that are too small for seating and too visible to leave empty are exactly where one earns its place.
Yes, and a single seat is the easiest way to bring a bolder colour into an otherwise neutral scheme. A velvet or patchwork chair does the work of an artwork while also being somewhere to sit.
Both are among the best rooms for one, since neither has space for a sofa but both benefit from a proper seat. A compact wing chair also works on a landing or in a wide hallway.
Yes, and a matched pair either side of a fireplace creates the symmetry period rooms almost always ask for. Order them together so the hides are cut from the same batch and the colours match exactly.
Yes, since most designs exist as both a sofa and a chair, so both can be ordered in the same leather. Ordering together is again the surest route to an exact colour match.
