Nao Accent Chair - Buff with Black

The Nao accent chair brings a rounded, relaxed shape to your seating with a buff boucle covering and a black metal swivel base. Measuring 1020mm wide, 890mm deep and 660mm high, it gives you a generous seat to settle into. The soft, textured boucle sits against the darker tone of the base, and the whole piece arrives fully assembled in one box, weighing 22kg. There is nothing to build, so you can put it straight to use once it is unpacked and in position.

We think this chair works well in a living room corner, a reading nook or a bedroom where you want somewhere comfortable to sit that also holds its own visually. The swivel base lets you turn to face conversation, a window or a television without moving the chair itself. Its 70s inspired lines suit both retro leaning rooms and more pared back spaces that need a softer shape to break up straight edges. The looped fabric adds warmth to cooler rooms and pairs easily with wood, metal or painted surfaces already in place.

Padding through the seat and back adds to how the chair feels once you sit down, while the boucle fabric gives it a warm, tactile surface. The metal base carries the weight and provides the smooth swivel action. To keep the fabric looking its best, wipe it with a damp cloth or work over it gently with a soft brush to lift dust and any surface marks. Avoid soaking the boucle, and deal with spills promptly so they do not settle into the fibres.

What is the chair covered in?

The chair is covered in a buff boucle fabric, giving it a soft, looped texture that feels warm to the touch. The base is made from black metal, which supports the seat and provides the swivel movement. Together they pair a soft top half with a sturdy, darker base.

How do I clean the boucle fabric?

Wipe the fabric with a damp cloth or use a soft brush to lift dust and surface marks from the looped texture. Avoid soaking the boucle and deal with any spills quickly so they do not sink into the fibres. Regular light brushing helps keep the surface looking fresh.

Does the chair need assembly?

No, the chair arrives fully assembled in one box, so there is nothing to build. It weighs 22kg, so you may want a second pair of hands to move it into position. Once it is where you want it, the swivel base lets you turn the seat without shifting the whole chair.

Where does this chair suit best?

It works well in a living room corner, a reading nook or a bedroom. The swivel base means you can turn towards conversation, a window or a screen. Its rounded shape and 70s inspired lines suit both retro leaning rooms and simpler spaces that could use a softer form.

How much space does it take up?

The chair measures 1020mm wide, 890mm deep and 660mm high. Because the base swivels, allow a little clearance around it so the seat can turn freely. Measure your intended spot before setting it in place, keeping the depth in mind for walkways and nearby furniture.
