Description
The Nico is a vintage brown leather armchair and footstool, sold together: one chair and one matching footstool. The leather is a warm tan brown, lighter where it stretches over the cushions and darker in the creases, which gives both pieces a mellow, lived-in look. Each stands on a slim black steel frame. The chair has a reclined back padded in two plump tiers above a thick seat cushion, and the footstool carries a single cushion on a flat top. The chair measures 64cm wide, 70cm deep and 80cm high, and the footstool 48cm wide, 39cm deep and 43cm high. When you measure up, add the footstool's depth to the chair's, plus whatever gap you like between them.
This is a chair for sitting back rather than sitting up, so it suits a reading corner, a living room or a study where you want to settle with your feet raised. The seat sits 48cm from the floor and the footstool a little lower at 43cm, so your legs rest just below seat level. The seat is 53cm wide and 40cm deep: compare that depth with a chair you already find comfortable, because it decides where your back meets the cushions. The arms stand 62cm from the floor, which is the height to check against any side table you plan to keep beside it.
By composition the Nico is 60% steel, 20% leather, 10% wood and 10% foam, and it is made in India with hand-finished details. On both pieces the frame's sides run along the floor as a sled-style base rather than ending in four separate feet, and no assembly is required. Leather is a natural material, so no two hides are marked or coloured in quite the same way. Beside warm wood and a wool rug, the black frame gives the brown leather a crisp outline.

Frequently Asked
Is it real leather?
Yes. The upholstery is leather, which accounts for 20% of the composition alongside 60% steel, 10% wood and 10% foam. We have not been given a grade for the leather, so we do not quote one.
How much floor space do the chair and footstool take up?
The chair is 64cm wide, 70cm deep and 80cm high, and the footstool 48cm wide, 39cm deep and 43cm high. With the footstool in front of the chair, add its 39cm to the chair's 70cm, plus any gap you leave between them.
How high is the seat?
The seat sits 48cm from the floor and the arms stand at 62cm. The footstool is 43cm high, a little below the seat, so your legs rest just under seat level when your feet are up.
Does it need assembling?
No. Neither the chair nor the footstool needs any assembly, so both are ready to use as they are.
What weight will the chair and footstool take?
The chair and the footstool each have a stated maximum load of 110.00kg. That rating applies to each piece separately, so keep within it on both.
Will the leather look exactly like the photographs?
Not exactly. Leather is a natural material and every hide varies, so expect the tone and creasing on your chair and footstool to differ a little from the pieces photographed.
