Nothing says comfort, laid-back style and tasteful practicality like the Long Island fabric armchair. The beauty of this piece is its versatility – it suits a loft-style, masculine design aesthetic as easily as it fits into a Scandi or classic Hamptons one. A low-slung profile with trendy narrow arms allows for greater seating space while retaining its contemporary feel, and the feather, foam and fibre-filled interior seats deliver that delicious sink-in sensation. Fabric is a smart choice for a busy home or apartment; it’s warm and soft on both the skin and eye but don’t be fooled – it’s a hardworking upholstery that resists wear and tear and looks newer for longer. Use a cloth to combat marks and dirt and run a vacuum over it to pick up lint and dust – while you’re at it, remove the loose back and seat cushions to get into the base of the armchair for a deep clean and then simply plump the cushions and settle them back. The solid feet keep the Long Island steady and strong no matter how exciting the sport on TV becomes and the simple fabric finish will allow you to update your look every season with on-trend scatters and throws. The Long Island fabric really is a no-brainer for shoppers looking for something that delivers on all fronts – comfort, strength, durability and style – in a way that’s subtle and compact enough not to steal the show but to shine in its own superior practicality. Choosing this armchair will guarantee you a few things – more naps than you’re used to, a new interest in long documentary-watching and maybe even a squabble or two about who gets your favourite spot.
