Know before you buy
The wool/nylon blend is a durable, textured fabric rated for 30,000 double rubs, making it a resilient choice for daily use. The aniline leather features a soft, matte finish that will develop a unique patina over time, offering a more luxurious, tactile experience.
With a width of 29 inches and a depth of 28 inches, the Nonesuch is designed with a compact footprint that works well in smaller spaces. Its open, minimalist silhouette also helps maintain a sense of airiness in a room.
The chair features a sculpted 3D bent ply seat paired with a fixed upholstered pad, providing a supportive, ergonomic shape. While it is designed for comfort, it is a lounge chair with a relatively upright profile rather than a deep, sink-in recliner.
A BIFMA rating indicates that the chair has been tested to meet rigorous industry standards for safety, durability, and structural integrity. This ensures the chair is built to withstand regular use in both residential and commercial environments.
No, the upholstered pad is fixed to the frame. To maintain the fabric or leather, we recommend regular vacuuming or dusting and addressing spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
