Winona Occasional Chair - Willow

The Winona Occasional Chair in Willow has a 550mm wide seat with 575mm of depth, set at 410mm high on a swivel base. Its 100% polyester upholstery is rated 94,000 on the Martindale scale. The arms curve inward around the seat.

The published seat measurements are what separate this from the usual vague promise of comfort. Five hundred and seventy-five millimetres of depth is genuinely deep for an occasional chair, deep enough to sit cross-legged in, and a 410mm seat height is low, which is what makes it a lounging chair rather than an upright one.

Willow is a soft green with grey in it, quieter than a true sage and easier to place than the name suggests. The 94,000 Martindale figure is high for an occasional chair, so the fabric will hold up in a room that gets daily use rather than being reserved for a corner nobody sits in. Foam with a medium profile gives under you without collapsing, which is the right balance for a chair you intend to read in.
