Modern Occasional Chairs
An occasional chair is defined by what it adds to a room beyond the sofa — a reading chair by a window, a second seat in a bedroom, the piece that resolves a corner that felt unfinished. Seek & Ramble's occasional chair collection covers that breadth. Fourteen chairs across a range of materials, silhouettes and price points, all designed in collaboration with Italian designer Francesco Feliziani. Whether the requirement is a statement armchair for a living room or a quieter, more considered piece for a bedroom or study, the range has the right chair.
The collection spans several distinct styles: the Luna is a generous upholstered armchair in Natural, Navy and Sky, with a low, enveloping profile well suited to a reading corner or living room. The Oscar is a boucle lounge chair on solid oak legs, available in Natural and Brunswick Rust — a warmer, textural option that works particularly well in modern organic and coastal interiors. The Milo is a lounge chair in brushed steel with rust or slate upholstery, and the Xara is a compact linen-look accent chair from $495. The Mattia is available in both genuine leather (black and tan) and upholstered fabric (olive and natural pepper).
The full range can also be browsed by style, colour or setting. Explore grey armchairs or green armchairs for specific colour directions, browse modern coastal armchairs or modern organic armchairs for style-led results, or see chairs for living rooms and chairs for bedrooms for room-specific options. Check chairs currently on sale for current reduced pricing.
