The single seat is the most underrated piece of furniture in the house, largely because everybody starts their shopping with the sofa and works outward from there. A one seater chair asks for very little floor space and returns far more presence than its footprint would ever suggest, which is exactly 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 in a room. 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.
Not sure where to begin? Order up to six free swatches and they’ll be with you in 5 to 7 business days.
small for 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 color 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 considerably more presence, creating that wonderfully enclosed feeling that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. Several designs come in three heights, so the same shape can suit 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 a softer, more forgiving seat day to day.
HIGH BACK DESIGNS
Worth considering if you are tall or if the chair will sit against a plain wall, since the extra height supports your head and fills the space above it properly.
A leather chair is the first thing most people picture and understandably so, since a good hide only becomes more beautiful as its patina develops around the buttoning. 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.
Velvet in emerald, navy, blush and deep mustard, carrying an otherwise neutral room single handed.
Wool and herringbone in warmer, softer tones for country houses and interiors where leather feels a little formal.
Tweed for a countryside feeling that suits period rooms, stone fireplaces and firelight particularly well.
Patchwork panels stitched one by one from our finest cloths, so no two chairs ever match. Antique and heritage leathers arriving with the worn character a new hide takes years to earn.
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, letting the chair become the focal point of the corner. Deep forest green or ink blue behind a tan hide, one of the loveliest pairings there is. Warm plaster and clay tones, flattering both the buttoning and the leg finish.
Textures that flatter
A solid wood side table and a floor lamp, which make any chair a reading corner. Aged brass lighting, stone fireplaces and open shelving stacked with favorite books. A Chesterfield ottoman, which 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 misjudgment.
Every chair is handmade in Britain using time honored techniques, so each seam reflects the care that goes into a piece meant to last generations and every hardwood frame carries our lifetime guarantee.
None at all, since we absorb every import cost on US orders, so the price you see is what you pay.
Dimensions vary by design, so the measurements are listed on each product page alongside the seat height and depth.
A single seat suits reading and conversation, while a cuddle chair at a seat and a half wide suit curling up sideways.
Yes, because most designs exist as both a sofa and a chair, so both can be ordered in one leather.
Yes, since every piece is made to order, so dimensions, upholstery and leg finish can all suit your room.
