The Olson Armchair in smokey blue velvet is a mid-century inspired lounge chair, exclusively designed and manufactured by Oriana B, built around a deep, cushioned seat, a floating dark wood leg detail, and a cool-toned velvet that channels the considered glamour of 1960s interior design.
The Olson was designed with a very specific mood in mind — the atmospheric interiors of the 1960s, where a great chair was as much a statement of taste as a place to sit. The smokey blue velvet is the ideal expression of that: not a bold primary blue, but something more muted, warm, and considered, the kind of colour that reads differently in morning light than it does by lamplight. Dark wood legs run down the front face of the seat, lifting the chair visually so it appears almost to float — an idea borrowed directly from the architecture of Mies van der Rohe, whose buildings inspire again and again.
The smokey blue makes this the most versatile colourway in the Olson range — it sits comfortably in neutral schemes built around warm whites, stone, and natural linen, but also holds its own beside richer tones like terracotta, deep ochre, or forest green. It works equally well as a reading chair, a bedroom accent, or a living room companion to a linen or bouclé sofa. Pair with the matching Olson Footstool in smokey blue for a fully composed reading corner, and add a ceramic or pleated table lamp at height to complete the arrangement.
