Santa & Cole Moragas Armchair

A high-back reading chair that turns any corner into a comfortable place to sit for hours.

We specify the Moragas Armchair when a room needs one truly comfortable chair. Its high back gives privacy and support, which is why it works in a home library, a primary bedroom or a hotel suite. It sits naturally in Mid-Century, Transitional and Mediterranean interiors, and the made-to-order upholstery lets it match the scheme exactly.

Planning notes

Allow a footprint of about 79 x 84 cm (31.1 x 33.1 in) plus 60 cm (24 in) in front for legroom. Add a floor lamp behind one shoulder for reading. If you supply your own fabric, order 5 m (5.47 yd) at 1.40 m (1.53 yd) wide.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs it within days: it is made to order in Spain with a lead time of 8 weeks.
• A ceiling or wall that cannot take 20 kg: plan a rated support first.

Care

Dust the wood with a soft, dry cloth; avoid standing water and harsh cleaners.
