The Bonaparte Armchair was originally designed by Eileen Gray in 1935 to be used in formal living rooms. However, Gray found it so comfortable she used it as her desk chair for decades in her Paris home at Rue Bonaparte. The armchair combines a uniquely shaped backrest and seat cushion with a tubular steel frame that seamlessly integrates through them.

Considered a staple of mid-century furniture modern design, its comfort, support and aesthetics give this chair the versatility to be used in living rooms, offices, lounges, professional settings and more. Buy it online in Canada.

Shown in White Italian Aniline Leather on Polished Chrome Steel Base.
