Description
The Lucca is a tobacco velvet tub chair: an armchair whose back and arms run in one continuous curve, with piping along the top edge and down the front of each arm. It stands on four slim metal legs set at an outward angle, and comes with a choice of gold or black legs, so you can pick the set that suits your room now and swap to the other later. It measures 80cm wide, 72cm deep and 70cm high: check the width against the gap you have in mind, and the depth against how far it will come into the room.
We see it as the extra seat a room is missing: pulled up to the coffee table opposite a sofa, or in a bedroom where you want somewhere to sit that is not the end of the bed. The seat is 43cm from the floor, so measure your sofa's seat first; if it is close to that figure, the two will line up across the coffee table. At 70cm high, the back stays below head height for a seated adult, so this is a chair for sitting up with a book rather than resting your head. Tobacco sits comfortably with cream and white walls and holds its own beside deep green or navy.
It is upholstered in velvet, and the composition is 30% polyester, 30% sponge, 15% iron, 15% pine wood and 10% plywood; sponge is the foam used to pad upholstered seating. Velvet is a pile fabric, so its colour looks a touch deeper or lighter as the light catches the pile from different directions, and a curved shape shows that off. Partial assembly is required before first use. For styling, the gold legs suit a warmer scheme, while the black set gives a crisper outline in a darker or monochrome room.

Frequently Asked
Can I swap between the gold and black legs?
Yes. It comes with a choice of four gold or four black metal legs, so you can use whichever set suits your room now and swap to the other when you want a change.
How much space does it need?
It is 80cm wide, 72cm deep and 70cm high, and the seat itself measures 45 x 48cm. Width and depth tell you how much floor it takes; the seat figure tells you how much room you have to sit.
Will the seat line up with my sofa?
The seat is 43cm from the floor. Measure the seat of your sofa: if it sits close to 43cm, the two will look level across the coffee table.
What is the chair made of?
It is upholstered in velvet, and the composition is 30% polyester, 30% sponge, 15% iron, 15% pine wood and 10% plywood. Velvet is a pile fabric, so it looks slightly deeper or lighter as the light moves across it.
Does it need assembling?
Yes. Partial assembly is required, so the chair needs putting together once it is unpacked, before it is ready to sit in.
Are the side table and vase included?
No. The side table and vase in our room photograph are styling props and are not included; the chair is sold on its own.
