The chair has a relaxed, generously proportioned profile, with a deeply reclining loose back cushion, broad seat cushion, and compact upholstered plinth base. Its narrow, dark side structure is left visible along the back edge, while small discreet casters allow the piece to be moved easily.

Upholstered in a soft light-gray wool or wool-blend textile, the chair presents a restrained modernist silhouette that is equally suited to a reading corner, bedroom, media room, or informal seating arrangement. The absence of arms creates an open, almost chaise-like feel, despite its compact overall width.

The construction is described as fabric, wool, and plywood. The chair remains in good vintage condition, with original condition unaltered and minor evidence of age and use consistent with a 1960s upholstered piece.
