Armchairs

–

Buying furniture can be overwhelming, especially when there are so many options out there, and at wildly varying price points to boot. To help find well-made, nice-looking stuff that won’t break the bank, we’ve already made articles on sofas, lighting, beds… Which got us thinking: what about that other living-space staple, the armchair? My Design Agenda chose the best Armchairs of 2021 wich practically suit every decor aesthetic — including mid-century modern, contemporary, boho, and traditional.

EFFIE TRIPOD CHAIR
ANTHROPOLOGIE

If you’re looking for accent chairs that reinterpret the past but are a bit more surprising in their shapes, consider these contemporary designs. Sisters Hollister and Porter Hovey, the duo behind design-and-staging company Hovey Design, “love the sexiness of ’70s décor,” and suggest Anthropologie’s update of Vladimir Kagan’s tripod club chair for its fun black-and-white pattern that makes a big impact. “We’d recommend searching for the real thing,” they say, “but this is fun and you’ll know you can get an exact pair.” Modsy’s Huffman also recommends the Effie chair, saying that it “would make a great focal point for any room.”
