Why we love it
This oversized club chair arrives upholstered in handwoven Kilim fabric, each piece individually crafted by artisans who layer wool and cotton strands on a loom to create bold stripes. It's the sort of statement chair that anchors a living room or study, sitting comfortably beside a side table and floor lamp, with brass studs and an antiqued finish that only improve with time.
Description
Club chairs were originally created in France, named 'fauteuil confortable' - which translates to 'comfortable armchair'. This could not be more fitting for our Large George, which has been reimagined with bigger dimensions and finished with striking, handwoven upholstery that adds an instant pop of colour to a room. The upholstery is crafted by skilled artisans, who take their time expertly weaving strands of wool and cotton into a Kilim rug by hand: this process involves natural threads being placed on a loom to form the rug's base, then coloured strands are woven horizontally to form the stripe. The rug is then washed and brushed for an antiqued appearance and carefully clipped of stray threads, before it is applied to the frame of the George and finished with brass studs. Due to the artisanal techniques used, each piece will have individual characteristics that add to their charm.
