Know before you buy
This is a manual recliner that operates by applying gentle pressure against the backrest while seated. There are no levers or buttons, allowing the chair to maintain its sleek, mid-century aesthetic.
The chair is upholstered in a durable linen blend consisting of 4% polyester, 82% viscose, and 14% linen. This combination provides the natural, textured look of linen with added softness and resilience from the viscose content.
Yes, the frame is constructed from solid parawood, a dense and durable hardwood known for its stability. The handcrafted curves and detailed carving are built to withstand regular use while maintaining the chair's structural integrity.
Because this is a manual push-back recliner, you will need to ensure there is enough clearance behind the chair for the backrest to tilt fully. We recommend measuring your floor space to account for the chair's total depth when in the reclined position.
The channel tufting is primarily a design element that adds visual depth and a mid-century silhouette. While it creates distinct lines across the upholstery, the seat remains plush and supportive for extended lounging.
