Tall Wing Chair

Designer Advice:
Available in six colors, this armchair will find its home in transitional-style interiors. For a more classic ensemble, we recommend pairing it with a round side table in a dark brown finish, similar to the chair’s legs. If you’re aiming for a contemporary nook, this piece will also go well with a glass end table. Add a modern floor lamp and a patterned rug to complete the composition.

Rustic Tropical Armchair
Airy and open, this high-back chair with arms evokes the relaxing vibe of a coastal home. The frame is made of rattan with vertical posts for the back and curved armrests. Polyester-upholstered loose cushions provide comfort and softness to the piece.
Designer Advice:
Great for achieving a casual lounge. The gray and dark brown options are ideal for shabby chic and farmhouse interiors. Meanwhile, the brown version will suit tropical interiors. But no matter which finishes you choose, we recommend pairing these chairs with a linen-upholstered sofa that also has a relaxing appeal. Round up the space with a wicker rug.

Designer Advice:
The ideal choice for maximalist interiors. We recommend pairing this chair with a round table with a baluster base or one with a sculptural look to contrast with its curves. As an accent chair, this will go so well with either a curvilinear glass coffee table in white or one with a reflective metallic finish.
