The Lobby armchair by Hugues Chevalier channels the sculptural confidence of 1930s Paris — an era when French design armchairs were conceived as architectural statements in miniature. Born from a maison established in 1978 and rooted in decades of French craftsmanship, this Art Deco accent armchair carries the weight of heritage without a trace of nostalgia.

Curved armrests sweep forward with geometric assurance, framing a silhouette that feels both enveloping and precise. Beneath the upholstery, a hardwood frame constructed using traditional French techniques provides the kind of solidity that only reveals itself over years of use. Multi-density foam cushioning is shaped to the chair's contours, maintaining its composure through long evenings and quiet mornings alike. Every hand-finished detail reflects four decades of refinement in a single, resolved form.

At 66 × 77 × 72 cm, the Lobby occupies space with intention — compact enough for a reading alcove or bedroom corner, yet commanding enough to anchor a hotel reception or punctuate a living room. Hugues Chevalier offers their full collection of fabrics and leathers for upholstery, allowing the piece to be tailored precisely to an existing interior palette or an entirely new vision.
