The Alex Patterned Armchair is a statement lounge chair that brings the warmth and elegance of art nouveau design to contemporary living.
The Alice pattern is the heart of this chair. A fleur-de-lis motif in amber and blue on a cotton weave, it draws directly from the art nouveau tradition, the movement that found beauty in natural forms, botanical detail and the kind of decorative richness that feels perfect for now. The amber lilies and blue foliage read as warm and characterful rather than period or formal, which is precisely what makes the Alice pattern so liveable, it brings history and personality to a room without asking the room to become a period piece. The solid wood frame is detailed with brass hardware on the front feet and arms, a quiet metallic note that ties the chair back to the warmth of the amber in the upholstery. Loose cushions keep the silhouette clean and make the chair as practical as it is beautiful.
At H95 × W72 × D84cm the Alex is a generously proportioned lounge chair — deep enough at 84cm for a genuinely comfortable seat, wide enough at 72cm to feel substantial without overwhelming a room. The amber and blue Alice pattern is more versatile than it first appears: the amber reads warm and earthy alongside natural wood, linen and rattan, while the blue provides enough contrast to hold its own against bolder wall colours and richer textiles. Works naturally in living rooms with a maximalist, eclectic or art nouveau-inspired scheme, but equally at home as the single pattern piece in an otherwise neutral room, the chair that gives everything else around it something to respond to. Complete the arrangement with the matching Alex Footstool, available separately, for a fully composed reading corner. The brass hardware on the feet and arms pairs naturally with Oriana B's brass wall lights and the gold tones in the Portland mirror range.
