Tub Chair | Caramel Velour

Deep caramel velvet, the classic tub silhouette, a generously padded seat and back — the chair you put in the corner of a bedroom or beside a fireplace and never want to move.

Caramel is a colour that almost always works in an interior — warm enough to add depth and richness without demanding attention, dark enough to anchor a corner without disappearing into it, and in velvet with its characteristic soft pile and gentle sheen it has an immediate luxurious quality that photographs beautifully and looks even better in a room. The tub chair silhouette is one of the great occasional chair forms — the curved back wrapping around the sitter creates an enclosed, comfortable feel that a plain-backed alternative cannot match, and the proportions at 75cm wide and 77cm deep make this a chair that is genuinely generous to sit in rather than designed first to look good in a photograph.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The combination of caramel velvet and the tub form is the Caramel Velvet's design authority — caramel velvet in a tub chair is the colour and fabric combination that interior stylists return to because it works against almost every other palette in a room. Against neutrals it adds warmth and depth; against bolds it provides the earthy grounding tone; against other natural materials — linen, jute, natural wood — it sits in exactly the right tonal relationship. The generous padding throughout the seat and back makes this a chair for actual sustained sitting rather than occasional perching, and at 21.5kg it has the satisfying weight of a properly made upholstered piece.
