A chair plays a vital role in the design vocabulary of any space, holding significant importance in its aesthetic and functionality. Whether it's a statement piece in a living room, a corner of a bedroom, or a functional item in an office, the right chair can significantly impact the ambience and aesthetic of a room.
Let's explore how chair design impacts your space, choosing for both comfort and style, their roles in indoors and outdoor spaces, and keeping them in good shape for lasting use.

The Impact of Chair Design on Your Living Space
The design of a chair can dramatically alter the feel and function of a room. Well-designed, a chair not only provides comfort but also complements the overall décor, enhancing the space’s visual appeal.

A sleek, modern chair like the Velis can add a contemporary touch, while a plush lounge chair such as the Belle can introduce a sense of luxury and grandeur. Your choice of chair design is pivotal in creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere.
Selecting the Perfect Chair for Comfort and Style
The perfect chair should not only look good but also provide adequate support and comfort. Consider the chair's ergonomics, especially if it's for a space where you'll spend a lot of time, like an office or dining room. At Cosh, our chairs are designed by renowned individuals like Monica Armarni, Sebastian Herkner, Justin Hutchinson, and Stephen Burks. They ensure that our chairs not only boast aesthetic appeal but also provide the utmost comfort and support.

Additionally, the chair's material, texture, and colour should harmonise with the room's existing decor while making its own style statement. Whether you prefer a bold, sculptural piece or a minimalist, streamlined chair, it should resonate with your personal taste and lifestyle needs.
The Role of Chairs in Outdoor and Indoor Spaces
Chairs serve different purposes in outdoor and indoor spaces. Outdoor chairs require innovative designs, such as durable and weather-resistant upholstery, and should have easily removable cushions for cleaning purposes.

Indoor chairs often focus more on comfort and style, serving as focal points in living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. The right indoor chair can elevate the room's sophistication and comfort level.

Investing in designer chairs also means committing to their maintenance and care. Preserving their quality and appearance necessitates regular cleaning and proper care, including the use of appropriate cleaning methods and products tailored to the chair's material.

For leather chairs, use suitable leather conditioners, and for fabric chairs, vacuum regularly and use fabric cleaners for stains. Keep chairs out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and periodically check for any loose fittings or damage that might need repair.
