Liang & Eimil Occasional Chairs

An occasional chair gives a room something a sofa alone cannot: a more individual shape, a different texture and a place of your own. Liang & Eimil’s collection moves between rounded, enveloping forms and more open, architectural profiles, bringing character to both contemporary and layered interiors.

Place a single chair beside the fireplace, draw a pair into a conversation area or create a quiet corner away from the main seating. Think about the view from the doorway as well as the view from the seat, especially when the chair sits away from a wall.

Bouclé introduces a soft, textured finish, while velvet gives colour greater depth and a more polished feel. Neutral upholstery can sit quietly alongside an existing sofa; a richer shade creates a deliberate point of contrast. Timber frames, dark metal and selected brass-toned details provide definition without losing the softness of the upholstery.

Choose a fixed-base chair for a settled arrangement, or explore swivel designs where the seating needs to turn between conversation, a view and the rest of the room. Check the individual specification, as materials, finishes and mechanisms vary by design.

Start with the footprint, then compare seat height, depth and back shape with the way you like to sit. Mark out the dimensions on the floor and allow space around the chair, including room for movement where a swivel base is specified. Check delivery access through doors, hallways and stairs, and review a fabric sample where available before choosing the final colour.

Complete the setting with a Liang & Eimil side table for books and drinks, coordinate with the sofa collection, and introduce lighting at the right height for reading. Our team can help check product details, fabric options and current lead times.
