Velvet chairs: timeless glamour in modern interiors
Explore our collection of velvet chairs
Are you choosing chairs for your living room? Forget the idea of velvet as a heavy fabric or, worse, something suited only to your great-aunt’s dated sitting room. Today, velvet chairs are the undisputed stars of the most modern living areas, combining incredible comfort with a durability that surprises even large families. The velvet chair is therefore a chic and eclectic choice that has made a definitive comeback in contemporary furnishing.
Why opt for velvet?
Unlike other fabrics, velvet can showcase various shades depending on both the fall of the light and the direction of the fibres. What’s more, it is a material with a delightful tactile quality: it is impossible not to brush against it as you cross the living area to make a coffee.
Do you fear that modern velvet chairs are too delicate? The new upholstery options offered by Scavolini are designed for everyday life. There is nothing to fear if a crumb falls or if the cat decides it is their new lookout post: current treatments simplify cleaning, allowing you to enjoy the seat without the anxiety of an irreparable stain.
Where to place padded seating
Who says velvet chairs like the Era model are destined exclusively for the dining room? While their enveloping design certainly invites you to linger around the table, we can suggest two alternative uses.
In the living room: paired with the Fluida wall system or a bookcase, a velvet armchair like Egg can become the focal point of the décor, transforming an unused corner into the perfect location to read your favourite novel.
In the bedroom: a chair is often the missing accessory to complete the room, becoming an elegant spot for setting out the following morning’s outfit.
