Modern Armchair: A Focal Point for Your Interior

A modern armchair can become a central element in any room of your home or apartment. As soon as you enter the space, your eyes are drawn to it, helping to structure the overall layout.

The modern armchairs available at Oblist are crafted with clean lines and high-quality materials. These iconic designs allow them to stand out as statement pieces, around which the entire interior decor revolves.

Want your modern armchair to be the future focal point of your living room or bedroom? Pay close attention to its placement. For example, position it near a window or in the center of the room. This way, it won’t go unnoticed and will energize the space.

Key Criteria for a High-Quality Modern Armchair

There are many factors to consider when choosing a high-quality piece of furniture. While the list is not exhaustive, here are some of the most important ones.

For a durable piece of furniture, focus on the quality of the materials used in its construction. Opt for premium materials. A modern armchair made from genuine leather, chrome steel, or locally sourced wood is your best bet.

To guarantee quality, choose furniture designed and created by a professional designer. A designer armchair not only offers a unique, timeless look but is also crafted with high-quality materials.

For example, some of the armchairs available at Oblist were designed by Pierre Paulin, one of the greatest French designers of the 20th century. His expertise was particularly evident when he created furniture for the Élysée Palace under President Georges Pompidou.

Innovative and Iconic Designs

At the heart of the latest trends in modern armchairs are innovative and iconic designs, although vintage styles continue to play an important role.

Looking for a unique office chair? Opt for a vintage piece! With leather armrests and an animal print seat, it will immediately catch the eye. For an added surprise and to enhance the room, go for a leopard print. A chair from the 1960s or 1970s perfectly captures the spirit of the era.

Want something truly unique and iconic? A chaise longue with mirrored surfaces is the perfect product for you. It can be placed indoors or outdoors thanks to its raw, minimalist shape. Outdoors, the sunlight’s reflection enhances the piece and helps it blend seamlessly into the surroundings.

If you don’t favor minimalist, clean lines, consider choosing an armchair with bold, radical shapes made from unconventional materials. For example, opt for daring materials like metal or fabrics with striking patterns.

Furniture with bold lines is often considered a work of art. An armchair designed with a strong focus on aesthetics—rather than solely on comfort—has a unique identity. This is especially true for pieces created by renowned designers in the field.
