Description
The Nico is a Peppercorn leather armchair sold with its own matching footstool. The leather seat and back are slung within an open frame and padded in three cushioned sections, one for the seat and two up the back, while the footstool carries a cushion of its own. The chair measures 64cm wide, 70cm deep and 80cm high, and the footstool 48cm wide, 39cm deep and 43cm high.
It suits a reading corner, a living room or a study, anywhere you want a chair to lean back in with your feet up. We would plan the floor space for both pieces at once: set the footstool right against the front of the chair and you need room for the chair's 70cm depth plus the footstool's 39cm, and more if you like a gap between them. The footstool stands 43cm high against the chair's 48cm seat height, so your legs rest a little below the line of the seat. That 48cm is also the figure to compare with the chair you use now, because a few centimetres make a real difference to how easily you get up. For reading, a floor lamp placed behind one shoulder lets the light fall across the page.
Steel accounts for 60% of the composition, leather 20%, and wood and foam 10% each, the percentages covering the whole product rather than the upholstery alone. The armchair and footstool come together in one box, full assembly is required, and each is rated to a maximum load of 110kg. They are made in India, with hand-finished details. Leather is a natural material, and small variations in grain from one hide to the next are normal. Slim, bare arms and an open frame give the chair less visual weight than a solid, fully upholstered armchair, so it sits easily beside a bookcase or in a corner.

Frequently Asked
Does the chair come with the footstool?
Yes. You get one chair and one matching footstool, packed together in the same box. Any styling props shown alongside them are not included.
How much room do the chair and footstool take up?
The chair is 64cm wide, 70cm deep and 80cm high, and the footstool 48cm wide and 39cm deep. Placed in front of the chair, the footstool adds its 39cm to the chair's 70cm, plus any gap you leave between them.
How high is the seat, and how does the footstool compare?
The seat height is 48cm and the footstool stands 43cm high, so with your feet up your legs rest a little below the line of the seat. The arms sit at 62cm and the internal backrest height is 45cm.
Why does the composition show only 20% leather?
Because the percentages cover the whole product, not just the upholstery. Steel makes up 60%, with wood and foam at 10% each, so leather takes a smaller share of the total than the name suggests, even though it is the material you sit on.
How much weight will the chair and footstool take?
Each piece is rated to a maximum load of 110kg. The chair itself weighs 16kg and the footstool 6kg, which is worth knowing if either will be moved often.
Does it come assembled?
No. Full assembly is required, so allow time for it and clear enough floor to lay the parts out before you start.
