While some people do prefer a sofa, an armchair remains one of the most important functional pieces of interior. This multitasker has to be chosen with a lot of purposes in mind. Is it meant to be just a pretty accent? Then it has to look spectacular. Should it host you throughout many hours in the day, adequate anatomical support is a necessity.

Choose wisely, and your new favorite sitting spot will fill all check-boxes at once.
