Light khaki chenille, a back that curves forward at both sides, metal legs underneath. The Nook Chenille Armchair is the piece that turns a spare room into somewhere a person actually sits — the room that already holds a desk, an airer and a bed nobody sleeps in.

Its seat lands 45cm above the floor, dining-chair height rather than armchair height. Stand it beside the ones at your table and they finish level: on the evening when there are more people than places, this is the chair that gets carried through, used at the table, and taken back to its corner afterwards. The curve at each side finishes below your shoulders, though — a wingback in shape, not in height.

For a chair to fall asleep in, this back stops too low. The Wing Linen Armchair is built round a taller one.
