Description
The Siena is a white bouclé tub chair on contrasting black iron legs. Bouclé takes its name from the looped yarn it is made from, and those loops give the fabric a nubbly, textured surface you feel as much as see. As with any tub chair, the back curves round to become the arms in one continuous line, which gives the shape its enclosing, rounded look. It measures 68cm wide, 68cm deep and 67cm high, with a seat height of 40cm and an arm height of 60cm.
We would put it where a larger armchair would crowd the room: a bedroom corner, beside a window, or at the edge of a living room as a spare seat for guests. Because it is 68cm across and just as deep, measure the gap you have in mind both ways, not only the width. If it is joining a sofa, compare the sofa's seat height with this chair's 40cm; when the heights are close, the room looks planned rather than pieced together. The back tops out at 67cm, so check that a windowsill clears it before you tuck it underneath.
Taken as a whole, the chair is 30% polyester, 30% sponge, 15% iron, 15% pine wood and 10% plywood. Polyester is the only fibre among them, so the bouclé itself is polyester, and iron is the only metal, which tells you what the black legs are made of. It needs partial assembly. For styling, a white bouclé chair brings a bright spot to a darker room, and sits just as easily in a pale scheme, where its texture does the work that colour would do elsewhere. The black legs pick up other dark details in the room, from a lamp base to door handles.

Frequently Asked
How much floor space does the Siena tub chair need?
Allow a clear 68cm by 68cm of floor, which is the chair's full width and depth, plus a little more in front so there is room for your legs when you sit.
How high are the seat and the arms?
The seat height is 40cm and the arm height 60cm, while the seat itself measures 42 x 48cm. If you like to tuck your feet up, compare that seat measurement with a chair you already find comfortable.
What is the bouclé made from?
The upholstery is polyester bouclé: polyester is the only fibre in the listed composition, alongside sponge, iron, pine wood and plywood.
Is the chair black or white?
The upholstery is white bouclé and only the legs are black. The black in the product name refers to those iron legs, not to the fabric.
Is the cushion included?
No. The cushion on the chair in our room photograph is a styling prop and is not included. The Siena is sold as a single chair on its own.
Does it need assembling?
Yes, it needs partial assembly. The chair is not supplied fully built, so plan to finish putting it together before you first sit in it.
