Notably, the shaped side supports are more restrained than traditional arms—terminating early and sitting lower—offering subtle guidance rather than full armrest function. The rounded backs and generous seats create a comfortable, contained sit, while the reduced arm projection allows the chairs to move easily between roles—working well as occasional seating, at a writing table, or in pairs flanking a fireplace or console. A balanced blend of form and function, with a softer, more adaptable presence than fully upholstered armchairs.

JUNE"S THOUGHTS
What stands out to me is how thoughtfully restrained these are. Because the side supports don’t extend like full arms, the chairs feel lighter and easier to place, with a more open profile that still maintains the visual language of a classic fauteuil. They don’t demand space the way a traditional armchair does, which makes them incredibly flexible—you can use them where a full fauteuil might feel too heavy or too formal.
