Dapper Armchair

Introducing Dapper, a sleek and modern armchair embodying the sophistication of traditional suit tailoring. Stylish, self-assured and restrained, this this modern lounge chair features a simple, uncomplicated backrest that wraps around the seat, meeting at the front and cut with a lapel-inspired silhouette. It is a bold statement that combines classic sophistication with contemporary form.

Dapper combines the latest frame-making techniques with quality foams and the finest upholstery craftsmanship to offer a robust and stylish solution, well-suited to both residential and commercial spaces. And, just like a finely tailored suit, this designer armchair radiates sartorial elegance that is sure to impress.

Key Features:

  • Sit Up And Take Notice: Dapper has been designed with a borderline high seat height and a slightly more vertical backrest, to create a sitting position more conducive to work and productivity. This makes Dapper an excellent choice for productive reading corners, quiet work spaces and sophisticated reception seating area.
  • Ergonomic Design: Through a comprehensive development process we honed the foam design, back rake and lumbar support to ensure a comfortable sitting experience over extended periods of time.
  • Up in Arms: Dapper's elevated arm rests offer an elevated, but extremely comfortable, perch for your arms. It's a wonder more chairs aren't designed like this.
  • Size Matters: Dapper has a shallower depth than most armchairs in its category, making it a great accent chair for small spaces and narrow passages. Paradoxically, Dapper's seat is slightly wider than the average, allowing users enough room to readjust and find the most comfortable position whilst sat.
  • Optional Extras: A small but convenient tablet can be ordered to hold drinks, phones, and documents whilst you sit. It is designed with a raised lip along its rear edge, to prevent items falling off the back, and is perched on the top edge of the arm rest. It can be specified on either the left or right side of the chair.
  • Crafted in the UK: Made to the highest standards in Yorkshire, the Dapper armchair is a testament to British craftsmanship. Combining true and tested techniques with state of the art manufacturing, each piece is meticulously crafted to ensure strength and longevity in the most demanding environments.

- Dapper's aesthetic is inspired by suit tailoring and detailing around the lapels and button stance (a measure of the placement of buttons on the front of a jacket).

- The way the backrest wraps around the seat is also reminiscent of the way in which babies are swaddled, enveloping the user in a warm embrace.

- Dapper's frame is incredibly robust, designed to be strong with a little bit of flexibility, ensuring a long life of service and superior comfortable levels.

Residential:
- Accent Chair for Small Spaces: A smart armchair with a shallow depth, making it a perfect accent chair for living rooms, bedrooms or narrow passages.
- Productive Reading Corner: The slightly vertical backrest and seat height create an ergonomic lounge chair for productive reading corners or quiet, at-home work spaces.

Commercial:
- Sophisticated Reception Seating: An elegant designer armchair ideal for sophisticated reception areas, offering a refined first impression for clients.
- Private Office Armchair: Provides comfortable client-facing seating, suitable for brief meetings and high-end workspaces.
- Contemporary Armchair for Hospitality: A perfect fit for lounges, hotel rooms or exclusive waiting areas, where unique style and quality craftsmanship are paramount.

Dapper brings style and sophistication to swanky interiors, stylish offices and luxury hospitality spaces.

Use neutral or classic upholstery, and place the armchair near natural light to allow its unique silhouette to speak for itself. Pair with a simple side table, and maybe a floor-standing reading light, to create the ultimate ‘productive corner'.

Best suited to light and airy spaces with a modern design aesthetic.
