The story

A compact, upright chair for coffee and conversation.

The Octave sits you up and keeps you comfortable: a squared seat 18.5 inches off the floor, a flat back to lean against and thick padded arms where your elbows land. It is a chair for a morning coffee, a call that runs long or a conversation across from a sofa.

Its character is in how it is put together. Each arm folds over the tops of two round ash legs like a sleeve, so the pale wood seems to slip into the saddle-brown vegan leather, and with no rails between the legs the chair looks light from every side.

The design

Three details that make the Octave.

The Octave is a squared seat in saddle-brown vegan leather on four pale ash legs. These three details give it its character.

Vegan Leather Folded Over Ash

Vegan Leather Folded Over Ash

Up close, the saddle-brown vegan leather has a fine, even grain and a soft sheen, and piping traces the folded end of each arm where it wraps the rounded top of a pale ash leg.

Four Legs, Two Folded Arms

Four Legs, Two Folded Arms

Each arm rests on the tops of two legs: the front leg stands upright beside the seat and the back leg leans out behind. There are no rails or stretchers, so the legs are the only wood you see.

Compact and Easy to Place

Compact and Easy to Place

At 29.7 inches wide and 28.5 inches deep, the Octave fits a reading corner, a bedroom or a pair across from a sofa, and as a commercial-grade chair it suits a lobby or waiting area too. Its warm brown sits well with linen, oak and stone.

Will it fit?

Width 29.7″ 75 cm
Depth 28.5″ 72 cm
Height 31.5″ 80 cm

Planning tip. Allow a footprint of about 29.7" × 28.5" (75 × 72 cm), plus roughly 30" (75 cm) of clear floor in front. The back legs angle out behind the chair, so allow for them when you set it near a wall. A pair with a small side table between them needs about 6.5 ft (2 m) of wall. The box measures 30.3" x 29.3" x 32.5" (77 x 74 x 83 cm), so check doorways first.
