Few pieces of furniture communicate taste quite as efficiently as the lounge chair. More thansomewhere to sit, it’s a shorthand for a way of living – slow, considered, anchored by design. From sculptural oak and leather to contemporary experiments in sheepskin and steel, these are the lounge chairs that bring both comfort and clarity of form to your living room decor right now.
Gabriel armchair by Soho Home
Inspired by Soho Roc House, the Gabriel armchair is a study in material honesty. A sculptural oak frame meets a hide leather seat that softens with age, the natural variances in the grain ensuring no two are ever alike. It’s craftsmanship expressed with restraint – a piece designed to patinate and endure.
Arco lounge chair by Edin & Lina Kjellvertz
The smaller edition of Dusty Deco’s Arco series keeps the collection’s signature arched legs but introduces sheepskin for a tactile update. Beneath the upholstery, a beech and plywood frame and layers of foam create a surprising depth of comfort. The result is a chair that feels both playful and quietly monumental.
Decadent lounge chair by Studio Stockholm
Dusty Deco’s collaboration with Studio Stockholm reimagines the club chair with sculptural precision. Upholstered in a wool-blend textured weave and built on an FSC-certified frame, it balances volume with poise. Plush with feather and foam, it’s a chair that is equal parts statement and sanctuary.
Lamino armchair and footstool by Swedese
Since 1956, Yngve Ekström’s Lamino has been a benchmark for Scandinavian design. Swedese’s oak and sheepskin edition shows why: light in form yet generous in comfort, sustainable in its materiality, and enduring in its appeal. The accompanying footstool completes a design that feels as relevant today as when it was conceived.
Billow beanbag armchair by Ferm Living
Ferm Living’s beanbag is a softer interpretation of the lounge chair, favouring informality without losing design credibility. Made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, its low, enveloping form invites pause, while integrated storage pockets add an understated practicality. A piece as much about lifestyle as it is about design.
Pavilion armchair by &Tradition
Anderssen & Voll’s Pavilion series expands into lounge territory with the AV5. Curved veneer and tubular steel give the chair its airy presence, while a wide seat and low backrest encourage unhurried sitting. Stackable yet elegant, it’s a rare example of utility meeting genuine elegance.
Karine armchair by Soho Home
Referencing White City House, the Karine armchair pairs dark-stained oak with sloped arms and German leather upholstery. Gold inlays on the front legs add a quiet note of opulence, contrasting with the otherwise pared-back profile. It’s a chair that bridges heritage and contemporary members’ club style.
Cover lounge chair by Muuto
Muuto’s Cover lounge chair distils the Scandinavian ethos into crisp geometry. Moulded wood forms the structure, with a leather seat adding warmth and tactility. Armrests and backrest are executed with architectural clarity, yet the chair remains generous in scale – a piece where minimalism translates directly into comfort.
