Purposeful design, timeless comfort
Purposeful design, timeless comfort
A well-designed modern chair & ottoman is about more than coordinated upholstery—it’s about proportion, gesture, and ease. Many of our featured sets are crafted with organic contours and supportive backrests, making them ideal for extended sitting. The ottoman adds versatility—acting as a footrest, an impromptu seat, or even a soft surface for a tray.
Designers often lean into generous curves, clean lines, and luxe materials like bouclé, leather, or linen-blend textiles. Pairings in mid-century modern style highlight exposed wooden frames or tapered legs, while minimalist sets embrace monochrome finishes and subtle textural contrast.

The Oblist collection spans a thoughtful range of modern chairs with ottomans, each chosen for its ability to harmonize with curated spaces. Discover sculptural lounge chairs with oversized ottomans, angular silhouettes in warm walnut, and accent chair with footrest styles upholstered in tonal textiles.
Those drawn to softer aesthetics may prefer enveloping tub chairs in boucle or alpaca blends, paired with matching poufs. For a slightly more architectural feel, opt for options with cantilevered bases or inset arms. Available in muted earth tones, rich neutrals, or layered whites, these sets blend easily into any palette while adding tactile dimension.
Styling tips for a modern chair and ottoman set
Styling tips for a modern chair and ottoman set
Place a modern chair & ottoman in a corner with good natural light, accompanied by a slim side table and sculptural lighting. In living rooms, float the set slightly away from walls to give it presence. In bedrooms, a curved chair with a matching ottoman softens the space at the end of a bed.
Pair with low-pile rugs, boucle throws, or tonal cushions to create warmth and texture. If your space includes bolder architectural elements, a clean-lined set in leather or structured linen can offer balance. And if you prefer a relaxed, European feel, opt for slouchy silhouettes in neutral palettes layered with natural textures.
