Armchair - Stylish Custom Seating
Armchair — Comfort & Style in Your Living Room
An armchair is more than just a chair. It's your personal spot — for your reading nook, next to the sofa, or as a statement piece in the bedroom. At Industrial Home, you'll find armchairs in every style, material, and size. In stock or fully custom-made to your wishes.
Which Armchair Suits You?
The choice of an armchair depends on how you want to use it, what interior you have, and how much space is available. We'll help you make the right choice step by step.
Fixed Armchair
The classic fixed armchair comes in countless forms: from low and wide for maximum relaxation to compact and upright for a home office. A fixed armchair has a strong, stable frame — often made of solid wood or steel — making it extremely durable. Choose a model with a high backrest if you plan long reading sessions, or a lower model if the armchair should be a design statement in your living room.
Swivel Armchair
A swivel armchair offers maximum flexibility. Ideal in the TV corner — you can easily turn with the conversation without moving your entire body. In a home office, a swivel armchair is also a comfortable, stylish choice. Many models have a 360° swivel function on a solid metal base. When purchasing, pay attention to the weight of the base: the heavier, the more stable the whole.
Armchair with Footstool
An armchair with a footstool is the ultimate in relaxation. After a long day, putting your feet up — nothing beats it. Some models have a fixed, pull-out footrest (relax armchair), others are combined with a separate pouf in the same material and color. Our custom-made models can always be extended with a matching pouf or ottoman.
Wingback Armchair
The wingback armchair — also known as a wing chair or bergère — has high, curled side panels that offer protection against drafts and ambient noise. Originally designed for the fireplace, this model is now a timeless piece of living room DNA. A wingback armchair in dark velvet or English bouclé gives any interior character and warmth.
Lounge Armchair
The lounge armchair is low, wide, and inviting — perfect for those who truly want to sink into comfort. Think of the iconic Egg Chair silhouette or a spherical shell on a steel or wooden leg. Lounge armchairs are ideally suited for a large living room or a reading nook with natural light. They combine excellently with a side table at eye level.
Materials — From Fabric to Leather
The material of an armchair not only determines its appearance, but also its feel, maintenance, and lifespan. At Industrial Home, you collaborate on the choice.
Fabric: Bouclé, Velvet and Linen
Bouclé is the fabric of the moment: coarsely woven, woolly, and warm. It immediately gives an armchair a Japandi or Scandinavian look. Velvet is richer in color and feels luxurious — ideal for an armchair that wants to stand out. Linen is airy, natural-toned, and timeless. All fabrics are available in a wide color palette and supplied as a custom option for our configurable models.
Leather and Faux Leather
Leather is the choice for those who value durability and a patina effect. As the years go by, real leather becomes more beautiful and characterful. Faux leather is easier to clean — a big advantage in households with children or pets. Our leather armchairs are available in cognac, black, anthracite, and sand beige.
Wooden Frame
Almost all our armchairs have a frame of solid wood — oak, beech, or walnut — or powder-coated steel. A wooden frame provides warmth and fits an industrial or Japandi interior. A steel frame suits a more minimalist or urban design. Ask about the options in our custom configuration.
Styles — Find Your Match
Industrial
Tough, raw, and authentic. An industrial armchair combines a metal frame with robust leather or coarsely woven fabric. Perfect for open living spaces with concrete floors, steel windows, or brick walls. Our own collection of industrial seating seamlessly matches this style.
Japandi
The fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth. A Japandi armchair has a low profile, clean lines, and a matte, natural color palette. Bouclé, light oak, and soft earthy tones are central. Less is more — also when choosing your accessories.
Modern & Scandinavian
Clean shapes, bright colors, and high-quality craftsmanship. Modern and Scandinavian armchairs are designed for both comfort and eye-catching aesthetics. Often compact in size, but grand in appearance — ideal for smaller living rooms or apartments.
Rural
Warm, inviting, and full of character. A rural armchair in natural linen or soft cotton brings peace to your home. Combine with a rug in earthy tones and a floor lamp for a cozy reading nook.
The Perfect Place for Your Armchair
Reading Nook
An armchair in the reading nook requires a high, supportive backrest and good armrests. Combine it with a floor lamp to the right or left for optimal lighting without shadows and a side table for your coffee or book.
TV Corner
In the TV corner, you want an armchair that relaxes. Choose a model with a low seating position or a swivel version so you can easily look from the television to the rest of the room. An armchair with a footstool or relaxation function completes this spot.
Bedroom
An armchair in the bedroom gives the room a hotel allure. Choose a compact model that doesn't take up too much floor space. A wingback armchair or lounge armchair in a calm color works excellently here.
Home Office
In a home office, an armchair combines the best of a lounge chair and an office chair. A swivel armchair with armrests at an ergonomic height is ideal for video calls and meetings from home — without the clinical appearance of a desk setup.
Smart Combinations
An armchair rarely stands alone. The right accessories complete the picture:
- Side Table: Choose a round side table at the same height as the armrest — ideal for drinks, books, or your phone.
- Floor Lamp: An arc floor lamp or adjustable reading lamp next to the armchair is both functional and atmospheric.
- Pouf: A matching pouf or ottoman in the same material and color gives the armchair a loungy, comfortable character.
- Rug: Anchor your armchair in the space with a rug that picks up the color or texture of the armchair.
Customization — Your Design, Our Craftsmanship
At Industrial Home, almost every armchair is customizable. Choose your own fabric from our swatch book, determine the color of the frame, choose the height of the legs, and indicate whether you want armrests. You can also submit your own design — our craftsmen will translate that into a handmade end result. Use our 3D configurator to see in real-time what your armchair will look like.

Frequently Asked Questions about Armchairs
What size armchair fits in my living room?
Allow at least 45–60 cm of walking space around the armchair. A compact armchair has a seat width of 60–70 cm; a more spacious lounge armchair quickly reaches 80–90 cm. Measure the available space before you buy, including the space you need to comfortably get in and out.
Armchair in fabric or leather — which is the best choice?
Fabric (bouclé, velvet, linen) is warmer, softer, and available in more colors. Leather and faux leather are easier to clean and last longer in a busy household. Choose fabric if you want a cozy look; choose leather if you want low-maintenance living or if there are children or pets.
What are the benefits of a swivel armchair?
A swivel armchair gives you maximum flexibility: you can easily turn to join a conversation, follow the television, or turn towards your workspace in your home office. The 360° rotation also reduces strain on your back because you have to turn your upper body less. Ideal for multifunctional living rooms and open floor plans.
Can I order a custom-made armchair from Industrial Home?
Yes. Almost all models are custom configurable: choose your fabric, color, frame finish, and dimensions. You can also submit your own design or image for inspiration. Use the 3D configurator on our site for a real-time preview, or contact us for personal advice via our custom page.
How do I combine an armchair with my sofa?
Choose an armchair in the same color palette as your sofa, but not in the exact same model — that looks too uniform. A gray velvet sofa combines beautifully with a wingback armchair in cream bouclé. Ensure that the seat heights are comparable (±5 cm) so that the overall look is consistent. Use a rug to bind the sofa and armchair together into one seating group.
