home: favourite thing [ ply chair ]

We have a lot of love for chairs and this armchair from West Elm is certainly one to shout about. The design and colour is ticking all the boxes for Midcentury lovers. It has a modern twist with its curved legs rather than a familiar swivel base.

The plywood frame finished in dark walnut and a soft leather seat makes this the perfect lounge chair to get cosy in with a book.
