Like a modern style for your living room armchairs?

More urban, less rural. Modern-styled armchairs mix influences from the 20th century and today. Straight lines and geometric shapes are common. Sophisticated, innovative designs show obvious functions and attention to detail.

More elements of modern style

Mixed materials like metals (lacquered in solid colors, chrome) and blended fabrics (cotton, velvet, polyester) create playful or dramatic contrasts in our modern-style armchairs. Solid and coordinated colors dominate. Patterns are rich, subtle, and a bit complex. Light structures – thin legs, flat surfaces – add a less-is-more feel.
