The Portrait Chair by Simon James draws inspiration from the stark Brutalist Architecture of the 1950s, reimagining it as a modern take on a club chair.

Distilled down to geometric block forms, the chair’s sincerity and simplicity are achieved through each element’s precise scale and angle; the arched back, squared arms, and fixed seat cushion come together to create an armchair that is both sculptural and comfortable.

The main body of the chair cantilevers over the base plinth, adding a visual lightness to the design. This chair is suitable for a wide range of spaces - from larger commercial areas and lobbies to waiting rooms and more intimate home settings.

The Portrait Chair is available in full upholstery options, or with a contrasting timber base plinth.
