For many of us recently, our purchases have seemingly swayed from the fashion world into interiors. It’s rather unsurprising too, considering our homes have become our sanctuaries more so than ever, with office spaces having blended into living and dining, and bedrooms quickly shifted to the go-to place to unwind from the day (that doesn’t remind you of the long workday).
Everywhere you look, it’s easy to see that one particular item has provided the comfort we seek, adding a cosy addition to practically any room it’s placed: the occasional chair. Where functionality meets style, the design is not limited to a shape or style, but rather comes in many forms, whether structural or relaxed, textured or smooth, and is the perfect means of adding a statement-making addition to any space.

Instantly recognisable thanks to its rounded shape matched with boucle and faux-shearling finishes, an occasional huggy chair is like a big warm hug—only, in furniture form. Australian designer Sarah Ellison made the design famous, with coastal and bright spaces the perfect backdrop to the stunning piece.
