We explore nine focal armchairs that double as a sculptural centrepiece in the bedroom. 

As part of est magazine issue #46 ‘Design Renaissance: The New Spirit of Home’, we explored creating sanctuary in our private spaces using our go-to Product Library. Lifted from the pages of est magazine, these nine armchairs have appeared in exceptional bedroom spaces from different corners of the globe to fulfil both a functional and sculptural purpose.

This feature originally appeared in The Detail pages of est Magazine Issue 46: Design Renaissance (pp. 254-267).

Studio Liam Mugavin Chair C

Strongly influenced by Japanese craft, Liam Mugavin appreciates wood joinery’s natural, complex nature. Chair C is part of a collection that transforms timber from dismantled inner-city homes, cutting pieces into dynamic, contemporary shapes. As a result, the Chair C has an intriguing gravity that appears more simplistic than its design.
