Rounded Arm Unusual Chair

Interlude

This chair’s rounded shape is mounted upon a hardwood frame, and its swivel ability gives it a slightly playful edge. Coming in five neutral color options that would work well with bolder colors, it also has advanced comfort spring suspension.

Designer Advice:

We tend to associate round armchairs with a sense of warmth and comfort. The two choices of fabric available with this chair, faux-linen or suede, both give off these vibes, making it a brilliant choice for a cozy living space.

Rattan Odd Chair

Rattan Odd Chair

This chair is crafted from rattan, a versatile yet still unusual choice that will make any design stand out more due to its naturally understated outer appearance. Available in ebony or natural, the blended wicker/rattan frame can hold 250lbs. It also comes with a removable cushion for easy washing.

Designer Advice:

This chair will bring the vibe of a sunroom to your home even when the sky is gray. Complement it by placing a rug underneath with a paisley or mosaic print – a timeless combination that will work well.

Open Frame Unusual Chair

Open Frame Unusual Chair

The open frame of this barrel chair will make its surroundings look fresh and innovative. With a generous weight capacity of 350lbs thanks to the frame made of solid and manufactured wood, it comes in three colors: dust blue, rosa pink, and mouse gray.

Designer Advice:

The polyester covering will stay smooth even when used a lot, and, even better, this chair will make the space around it seem bigger due to its open back - always an advantage!

Faux Leather Unusual Shaped Chair

Faux Leather Unusual Shaped Chair

Orren Ellis

Made with a wood frame and leather upholstery, this chair is available in four color combinations: black and red, black and white, or plain black or gray. It features elevated tufted embroidery and a wide seat ideal for lounging on.

Designer Advice:

This chair will add a comforting and grounded ambiance to your living room but place it directly next to a sofa or a coffee table to avoid overshadowing your other furniture. This will create a cohesive look and give the rest of the room a chance to shine.

Exaggerated Seat Strange Chair

Exaggerated Seat Strange Chair

This chair has a larger-than-life seat that is fashion-forward and elegant. It is constructed from beautiful solid wood, and inspired by designs from the mid-century, another huge trend right now. Available in citrine or urban hemp, it will mold to your body for ultimate comfort.

Designer Advice:

To ensure the exaggerated seat remains the focus of your chair, only purchase one large cushion or two mini ones in a similar shade to your seat cushion. This way, the main point of the design won’t be covered up.

Shoe Design Unusual Chair

House of Hampton®

This novelty chair is in the shape of a shoe (pick your favorite brand), and features crystal-like stud decoration along the seating and heel for that extra touch of glitz. Available in black, white, or silver faux leather, it’s the perfect piece to make a statement with.

Designer Advice:

With a chair like this, we recommend designing a glamorous boudoir-inspired setting to place it in. Add some extra fluffy faux fur cushions and a shag rug, and you’ll have created your very own studio.

Balloon Style Odd Shaped Chair

Balloon Style Odd Shaped Chair

Sandler Seating

This balloon chair is available in blue, red, or green. It has innovative LED lighting fitted within the shell, so you can read or write for hours in your private world. The frame is constructed from manufactured and solid wood for lasting durability.

Designer Advice:

It would be a good option if you have a shy child or tend to be more introverted – the only downside is the weight capacity, which, at 150lbs, is lower than that of most chairs.

Cutout Strange Shaped Chair

Corrigan Studio®

If an open back isn’t unusual enough for you, one-up it with a cutout. Crafted with thin legs and a unique lower back cutout, this chair is made from premium PU leather and comes in three neutral shades of yellowish-brown, dark brown, and cream.

$114.99 $171.99

Designer Advice:

While it may not be the most comfortable seating option (perhaps don’t give this one to your grandparents), it will look very cool. If you are a fan of contemporary design, this chair has endless appeal and won’t appear too modern.

Tall Back Odd Chair

Willa Arlo™ Interiors

This chair has a tall back that will look striking and regal in your home. With a solid wood back and a tufted frame, the quality shines through due to the top grain Italian leather used for the upholstery.

$1529.99 $2170

Designer Advice:

If you have high ceilings, the taller the chair the better, but always be careful with placement to ensure your other furniture doesn’t look small and insignificant. To prevent it from being overwhelming, stick to one solid and neutral color, like the white used for this chair.

Faux Fur Strange Chair

Faux Fur Strange Chair

Not just for the boudoir, a faux fur chair will look charming in your living room. This chair’s seat and back are richly covered in plush, bright white fur, whereas the solid wood legs in black provide a subtle contrast for an overall charming feel.

Designer Advice:

If you want more of a classy look than a playful one, pair your chair with more traditionally refined fabrics such as suede or linen, as this will help to ensure your faux fur looks as sophisticated as possible.
