An Eichholtz armchair combines comfort with sophisticated design. Deep velvet upholstery, curved shapes, and fine metal frames in gold and brass finishes transform a single seating piece into an elegant focal point, suitable for a reading nook, living room, entryway, or demanding commercial project.
Style and Selection
Whether a striking lounge chair, a classic wingback armchair, or an elegant swivel chair: pay attention to proportion within the room, upholstery, and color. An armchair can stand alone as a statement piece or create a symmetrical arrangement as a pair. Two armchairs facing a sofa foster a genuine conversational setting, whereas a single armchair can quickly appear as an afterthought.
The Space Around the Armchair
An armchair needs space: approximately 60 centimeters in front of the seat for legs and enough room to comfortably get in and out. Beside it, there should be a surface for placing items, usually a side table at about armrest height. Light should come from behind or from the side: a floor lamp over the shoulder or a table lamp next to it. Only then does the armchair truly become a reading nook.
Upholstery and Everyday Use
Velvet offers depth of color and sheen and is more resilient than its reputation suggests; it should be vacuumed in the direction of the pile. Bouclé adds texture, and leather becomes more beautiful with age. Changing cushions and a suitable rug integrate the armchair into the seating group.
Frequently Asked Questions

How much space does an armchair need?
Approximately 60 centimeters of clear space in front of the seat and enough room on the sides to comfortably enter and exit.
