The accent chair collection
A rounded seat and a low, gently reclined back, wrapped in soft teddy sherpa and set on a sculpted wooden base in a warm brown. It is armless and sits low, so it reads as a soft, sculptural shape rather than a bulky armchair, and it comes with a matching lumbar cushion.

The Calverley is built from two soft, rounded pieces: a deep cushioned seat and a low back that leans gently backwards. There are no arms, so from the front it reads as one smooth, pebble-like form. Underneath, two shaped wooden side pieces in a warm brown run front to back and curve down into tapered feet, which lifts the upholstery off the floor and gives the chair a clear outline. A matching rectangular lumbar cushion sits against the back.
Sherpa is a dense, curly pile that feels warm and soft to the touch, and it suits a chair like this, made for sinking into. It is close in look to bouclé, but fluffier; our guide to bouclé versus chenille covers how the textured fabrics compare.
White is a soft, warm white. Against the brown base it looks clean and light, and it suits a pale or neutral room, a bedroom especially.
Green is a muted, earthy green that sits well with the wood of the base and with plants and natural textures. It is the one to choose if you want a little colour without anything loud.
Black gives the rounded shape the most definition. The curly texture shows up clearly in the dark fabric, and it looks striking against a light wall or floor.
At 73cm wide and 82.5cm deep, the Calverley takes up about the floor space of a compact armchair, but because it is armless and only 73cm high it looks lighter. The 41cm seat is lower than many chairs, which suits a relaxed, lean-back way of sitting: a reading corner, the end of a bedroom, or a spot by the window. Leave room in front of it for your legs and a side table within reach. If you are still deciding between an upright accent chair and something deeper, read accent chair or lounge chair: how to choose.
The sherpa is spot clean only, so deal with spills straight away and blot rather than rub. Run a hand or a soft brush over the pile now and then to keep it lifted where you sit most. Wipe the wooden base with a dry or lightly damp cloth.
For a chunky, low chair that sits right down on the floor, see the Lumo. The Juno is a rounded bouclé barrel chair on a black metal frame, and the Ashton is a high-backed chair in a soft faux fur. Or browse all the accent chairs.
The details
Seat height: 41 cm · Max load: 136 kg
Approximate overall sizes, the same in every colour. Each chair comes with one matching lumbar cushion; the other furniture and accessories in the photographs are not included.
About 73cm wide, 82.5cm deep and 73cm high, with a 41cm seat height. All three colours are the same size.
Sherpa, sometimes called teddy, is a soft fabric with a dense, curly pile, a little like fleece. On the Calverley it is 100% polyester. It looks similar to bouclé but feels softer and fluffier, where bouclé has a tighter, nubbly loop.
No. The back is fixed at a gentle reclined angle, so it always sits in a relaxed position. The lumbar cushion adds support in the small of your back.
Partial assembly is required, and the tools are supplied.
Spot clean only. Blot spills straight away with a clean, damp cloth rather than rubbing them, and brush the sherpa lightly with your hand or a soft brush to lift the pile.
