What customers say
The Bontempi Clarissa Armchair earns praise for its sophisticated design and exceptional build quality. Owners appreciate the elegant silhouette which blends modern aesthetics with timeless appeal. The craftsmanship is frequently highlighted as a standout feature because the sturdy frame and premium upholstery provide a sense of lasting durability.

This piece is widely regarded as a worthwhile investment for those seeking refined Italian style and reliable construction.
Know before you buy
The armchair arrives requiring assembly. You will need to attach the frame to the upholstered seat shell, which typically involves basic tools and following the provided instructions.
Eco-leather and Nappa leather are generally easier to wipe clean, making them practical for high-traffic areas. Velvet and fabric options offer a softer texture but may require professional cleaning or careful spot treatment to maintain their appearance.
Because the Clarissa is a made-to-order piece, we highly recommend requesting material swatches if available. This ensures you can verify the exact color and texture of the metal finish and upholstery against your existing home decor.
With dimensions of 26.4" x 36.2", the Clarissa has a relatively compact footprint for an accent chair. Its modern, open-frame silhouette also helps it feel less bulky than traditional overstuffed armchairs, making it a great fit for apartments or reading nooks.
Consider your lifestyle and the chair's intended use. If the chair will be placed in a sunny spot, opt for materials with high lightfastness, and if you have pets or children, prioritize the more durable eco-leather or performance fabric options.
