The range runs from an upright reading position to a near-flat recline, and the bolster headrest slides along the frame so you can set it wherever your neck falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall:\u003c\/strong\u003e L160 x W58.4 x H61 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe length is the constraint. At 160 cm this needs a dedicated run of floor and does not sit comfortably in a seating group around a coffee table — treat it as a single statement piece with clear space around it. Allow at least 60 cm of walkway on the side you get in from. Because the frame is open and raised, it reads lighter in a room than its length suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Put It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best positions are along a bedroom wall, in a wide bay window, or angled into a corner of a living room. It is built for reading and resting rather than for conversation or television — the reclined angle puts your head back, which is comfortable for one but awkward in a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Black Aniline Leather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack is the most graphic of the two finishes we offer, and the best at hiding marks. The upholstery is full-grain Italian aniline leather, which means the colour is dyed into the hide rather than painted on as an opaque surface coat. That changes how it ages. There is no coating to wear through to a different shade underneath; instead the leather softens with use and builds a patina, a gentle sheen where your shoulders, hands and heels rest most often. On black, that shows as a soft lustre against the more matte, less-used areas rather than as fading or patchiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the polished chrome frame, that contrast is the whole character of the piece: a dark, yielding cushion carried on a bright, hard line of tubular steel. The chrome is the dominant visual note, so it is worth checking against the other metals already in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a busy UK living room, black is also the forgiving choice. Scuffs from shoes, dye rub-off from dark denim and the everyday handling of a piece people climb on and off would show on a pale leather; on black they largely disappear, and light surface scratches on aniline can often be warmed back with a fingertip. Because aniline has no protective topcoat, blot spills promptly with a dry cloth and condition the leather every 6–12 months to keep it supple.
