Description
The Lucca is a sapphire blue velvet armchair built as one rounded shape rather than a back with two arms attached: the arms and back run at the same height and wrap round the seat in a continuous curve. It stands on slim, tapered metal legs that lift the body clear of the floor and keep the outline light. The chair measures 80cm wide, 72cm deep and 70cm high, and the seat is 43cm from the floor.
It works as extra seating around a coffee table, angled in towards the sofa, or on its own as a bedroom chair, by a window or in a corner that needs somewhere to sit. It suits a room where a second sofa would be too much and a stool too little. To have it sit level with your existing seating, measure from the floor to the top of your sofa's seat: when that figure is close to 43cm, the two will line up. We would set it a little apart rather than push it tight against other furniture, so the rounded back has room to be seen.
Velvet has a short, dense pile that feels soft under the hand and catches the light differently depending on the direction you look at it, so the sapphire blue reads deeper from some angles and brighter from others as you move around the room. The chair is made up of 30% polyester, 30% sponge, 15% iron, 15% pine wood and 10% plywood, and partial assembly is required before it is ready to use, so set aside a little time to put it together. It sits well against white, grey or warm neutral walls, where the blue has space to show.

Frequently Asked
Will it fit in a small living room?
It needs a floor space 80cm wide by 72cm deep and stands 70cm high. Mark that rectangle out on the floor with masking tape, then check there is still a clear path past it and room in front for your feet.
How high is the seat?
The seat is 43cm from the floor. If ease of getting up matters to you, measure the seat height of a chair you already find comfortable and compare the two figures before you order.
Can I rest my head against the back?
No. The back runs level with the arms and the chair stands 70cm high overall, so the top of the back sits well below head height once you are seated. If you want somewhere to rest your head, look for a chair with a taller back.
What is the Lucca armchair made from?
It is upholstered in sapphire blue velvet and stands on slim, tapered metal legs. Its full composition is 30% polyester, 30% sponge, 15% iron, 15% pine wood and 10% plywood.
Does it need assembling?
Yes. Partial assembly is required, so the chair needs some putting together before it is ready to sit in. We suggest unpacking it in the room where it will stay, with a clear patch of floor around you.
