Caelum Armchair

The Caelum Armchair in Warwick - Kindred Snow is 75cm wide, 80cm deep and 79cm high, fully upholstered. It is deeper than it is wide, so it is a chair to sit back into rather than perch on. The colour names the fabric house and the shade.

A chair deeper than it is wide is built for staying in. At 75cm wide and 80cm deep this is a reading chair rather than an accent chair, and the proportions are the giveaway: width is for looking generous, depth is for being comfortable.

At 79cm high the back reaches the shoulders without going past them, which keeps the chair from dominating a room the way a wing back does.

The caveat is the depth in a small space. At 80cm deep it needs clearance in front to get out of, so it works in the open part of a room and reads as an obstruction in a narrow one.
