Stylish men should have a stylish chair
A statement leather chair can work wonders for your living room. They're where you watch your movies. They double as a WFH seating area and are perfect for your afternoon siestas. And when not being used, the best ones are good-looking enough to enhance the overall vibe of the room. Since most of us spend the majority of our time at home, it's worth investing in a comfortable and well-made chair in which to lounge. I call it the “corner chair.”
It's the best seat in the house. The chair with a good view out the window or with the perfect angle to see the TV. It can sit in the corner and instantly make a room look better. Personally, I arrange the rest of the furniture around our corner chair—a handsome style, covered in tan leather with chunky wooden legs. The color allows us to keep the rest of the room neutral and to play with other natural wooden tones to keep the room warm and minimal. Although most leather chairs come with a hefty price, they're worth the investment because they're able to last for a few decades and tend to look better the longer you have them. Sure, it will initially cost you a low four figures to cop one. But the price of resting in a stylish and cozy chair is priceless, right? We've rounded up some of the best options on the market that will complement any living room in style.
This angular chair takes inspiration from a 1950s Spanish-style silhouette. Sitting on a wooden oak frame and crafted from one single hide of vegetable-tanned leather, the design is perfect for lounging around and enjoying your slow mornings. The leather is bound by fitting it through slats in the frame and will naturally stretch over time to conform to your figure and provide a more comfortable fit.

You've probably seen this chair all over social media, but it's actually been in production for 50 years. In 1973, Michael Ducaroy created the now iconic Togo—all-foam cushion seating with no hard points. It sits low to the ground, but it's incredibly comfortable since your body naturally buries itself into the oversized L-sharped cushions. The chair's exceptional and sculptural design fits comfortably into any modern interior space and remains one of the brand's most sought-after pieces.
