Plumpton Armchair - Sahara

The Plumpton is a wide snuggle armchair upholstered in soft chenille in a Sahara colourway, sitting on oak-effect rubberwood legs. Measuring 1030mm wide, 1100mm deep and 850mm high, it offers a roomy seat with space to curl up or share with a little one. The neutral tone keeps things easy to pair, while the fabric brings a warm, tactile feel to a chair built for relaxing rather than perching. The classic shape and rounded arms make it an inviting place to settle at the end of the day.

We think this armchair suits a living room, snug or reading corner where comfort comes first. The generous width makes it a cosy spot for one and a half people, and the shape works with both modern and more traditional rooms. Because the Sahara shade stays quiet against bolder walls and rugs, you can build a scheme around it or let it settle into an existing one without much fuss. Add a throw and a cushion or two and it becomes a favourite seat for reading, watching television or simply resting.

The frame uses rubberwood with legs finished in an oak effect rather than solid oak, giving that warm timber look without a heavy price on your room. Chenille has a short, dense pile that feels soft to the touch and wears well day to day. The chair arrives partially assembled in one box weighing 32.65kg, so the legs simply need fitting before use. To keep it looking its best, wipe with a clean damp cloth or work over the fabric with a soft brush to lift dust and keep the pile even.

What is the chair covered in?

The Plumpton is upholstered in chenille, a soft fabric with a short, dense pile that feels warm and tactile. The Sahara colourway is a neutral shade that pairs easily with most schemes, making it a comfortable choice for everyday sitting and relaxing at home.

Are the legs made from solid oak?

No. The legs are rubberwood finished in an oak effect, so you get the look of warm timber without solid oak. This gives a classic appearance that suits both modern and traditional rooms while keeping the chair sturdy and supportive underfoot.

How big is this armchair?

It measures 1030mm wide, 1100mm deep and 850mm high. That extra width makes it a snuggle chair, roomy enough to curl up in or share with a child. Measure your space and doorways before ordering to make sure it fits comfortably where you want it.

How do I clean the chenille fabric?

Wipe the fabric with a clean damp cloth to lift marks, or run a soft brush over it to remove dust and keep the pile looking even. Regular light brushing helps the chair stay fresh and prevents the surface from flattening over time.

Does it need assembly?

The chair arrives partially assembled in one box, so the main body is ready and the legs need fitting. It weighs 32.65kg, so we suggest having a second person on hand to help with lifting and positioning it once the legs are attached.
