Soft Textured Seating

Texture has become a big focus in recent design trends, adding dimension and comfort to both the aesthetic and functionality of a space. Soft textures are an integral part of feeling at home and studies show that is directly linked to those first memories of touch we have as children, being cocooned in soft knits and blankets. This trend has really begun to boom with seating, with soft bouclés and deep chenilles featured on signature armchairs and sofas, and we have carefully curated some of our top designs that we think will allow you the most comfortable seating experience.

The Alex Armchair by Sits is an enduring design, featuring a curved, high profile backrest with slimline armrests and cut-out detailing at the sides. The lacquered metal legs are angled allowing for a truly relaxed seating position, and there is a wide range of fabrics and finishes available. Similarly, the Alice Armchair by Sits also features a high profile backrest and angled legs but instead the backrest of this design tapers and curves creating a cocoon-type shape to envelope you whilst you're seated. Both are pictured in 'Willow' bouclé.

For a larger statement in your space, then a soft textured sofa will give you even more comfort square footage. Pictured in 'Sky' chenille, the Milou Sofa by Sits is complete with rounded memory-foam seat cushions, broad curved armrests, and pillow-style back cushions, which all allow you to truly sink into the seat and enjoy every comfortable element of it. This design comes fixed or in a choice of modular compositions.

Pictured here in 'Bouclage' bouclé, The designs in the range feature broad seat cushions filled with crush-proof polyurethane.

Your space — and your comfort levels — will improve as a result.
