The Emma Armchair with Ottoman is for whoever in the house wants a seat of their own: a lounge that already has a sofa in it, or a bedroom in a house where the television belongs to someone else. It is high-backed and dark green on rubberwood legs, and the footstool that comes with it is the same cloth and the same box.

The back finishes 96.5cm above the floor, near enough a metre of chair in one place, and a window sill is the first thing to measure it against. A sill lower than that and the chair stands in the glass rather than beside it. Then there is the colour: dark green needs light landing on it to stay green, and in an unlit corner it reads as black.

For a pale room that wants the pair to disappear rather than anchor it, the Olivia Linen Armchair with Ottoman - Grey does the same job in grey linen.
