Description
The Aviana is a tub-shaped armchair upholstered in natural chenille and set on four slim black metal legs. Its back and arms run as one continuous curve, the shape that defines a tub chair, and the metal legs beneath it make a crisp contrast with the soft upholstery. It measures 76cm wide, 70cm deep and 69cm high, and that height makes it a low-backed design: it suits sitting upright to read or talk, but it is not a chair to rest your head against.
In a living room it works as an extra seat beside a sofa, and the figure to check there is the 48cm seat height: measure your sofa from the floor to the top of its seat cushion, and if the figures are close the two will sit level. The arms reach 65cm, so a side table near that height keeps a cup within easy reach. In a bedroom it gives you somewhere to sit that is not the bed, and in a bay window it makes a reading corner of spare floor. The seat itself measures 50 x 52cm; if you own a chair you already find comfortable, measure its seat and compare.
By composition the chair is 80% plywood, 10% foam, 5% steel and 5% chenille, and it arrives needing partial assembly. Plywood is built from thin layers of wood bonded with the grain crossed, which makes it strong and stable for its weight. Chenille takes its name from the French word for caterpillar: the yarn carries a short, tufted pile, which gives it a soft handle and a surface that catches the light differently from each angle. The natural upholstery sits quietly beside patterned rugs and bright cushions, and the black legs pick up any other black metal in the room, such as a curtain pole.

Frequently Asked
Does the Aviana armchair arrive fully assembled?
No. It needs partial assembly when it arrives, so plan to put part of it together before its first use rather than expecting it ready to sit on straight from the box.
How much floor space does it need?
The chair is 76cm wide and 70cm deep. Mark that footprint on the floor with masking tape, add room in front for your feet, and you will see how much of the space it takes.
Will the seat line up with my sofa?
The seat height is 48cm. Measure your sofa from the floor to the top of its seat cushion; if that figure is close to 48cm, the two seats will sit at a similar height side by side.
Is the back high enough to rest my head against?
No. The chair stands 69cm high overall, so the back finishes well below head height for a seated adult. It suits sitting upright to read or talk; if resting your head matters, a high-backed chair is the better choice.
Does natural chenille mean it is made from a natural fibre?
Natural is the name of the colour, not a description of the fibre. Chenille describes how a yarn is constructed, with a soft tufted pile, rather than what it is spun from. By composition this chair is 80% plywood, 10% foam, 5% steel and 5% chenille.
Are the side table and lamp included?
No. We sell the armchair on its own as a single chair; the side table, lamp and other pieces shown around it are styling props and are not included.
