My name is Emma Breislin, and I love chairs. Big chairs, weird-looking chairs, sink-in-me chairs, chairs designed just for looking at. If space wasn't a limitation in my home, I shudder to think how many chairs I might own. And after recently spotting this new Drape Fabric Armchair from Habitat, it would safely be one more.
Whether it's something that you'll actually sit on every day, or a piece that — be honest — is styled in a corner of your bedroom/living room/study to fill a gap or more for looks than anything else, you'd be surprised how expensive an accent chair can be. That's what really impressed me about Habitat's new £275 design, with its 'draped' fabric seat and solid oak frame. Close one eye, and you could almost convince me it's from the likes of Soho Home.
