Designer armchair: combining comfort and design every day with NV Gallery

Discover our exclusive selection of designer armchairs, created to combine comfort, aesthetics and functionality. Whether you're looking for a modern armchair, a contemporary designer armchair or an enveloping seat for your living room, every designer armchair by NV Gallery reflects a refined approach to contemporary design.

Our armchairs are much more than simple seats. They embody a vision of modern furniture where every detail matters: textured fabrics, designer bases, premium materials such as solid wood, and a variety of upholstery options including velvet, chenille and white bouclé. The result: a lounge chair that's as comfortable to live with as it is beautiful to look at.

You can easily pair your armchair with a designer sofa, whether it's a 2-seater sofa, a 3-seater sofa or even a more generous corner sofa.

Choosing the right designer armchair for your needs

Accent chair, reading chair or living room armchair: a model for every space

An accent chair or rocking chair fits easily into a hallway or bedroom. In the living room, an armchair with designer legs or a designer chair pairs harmoniously with your sofa bed or chaise longue. For smaller spaces, choose a model with slim legs or a swivel armchair in bouclé fabric to create a lighter visual effect.

What makes a modern armchair comfortable: seat, backrest and padding

Choosing a comfortable designer armchair depends on several factors: a soft or structured seat, a backrest suited to your posture and high-quality padding — such as high-density foam, wool-effect fabric or corduroy for extra softness.

Fixed or swivel: which type of designer armchair should you choose?

Can't decide between a fixed armchair and a swivel fabric armchair? A swivel model in chenille fabric offers effortless movement and a distinctive look, making it ideal for a home office or library. Fixed models, meanwhile, fit perfectly into a more structured and cosy interior.

The shape of an armchair has a significant impact on how a space feels. An armchair with enveloping curves creates a cocooning feel, ideal for a bedroom or reading corner. In contrast, an armchair with straight, angular lines adds structure to a contemporary living room. In minimalist interiors, an armchair with visible legs creates a lighter visual composition. In a more richly decorated room, a low, wide model helps refocus the eye. Design is therefore about more than aesthetics: it interacts with the architecture and furniture to balance the proportions of the room.

What colour should you choose for a designer armchair?

With a colourful designer armchair, you can express your style through colour and texture: white and wood, beige, a natural armchair or wool-effect fabric for a Scandinavian-inspired interior. A brown armchair, blue armchair or green armchair adds a confident touch of character. Choose a velvet armchair, textured fabric or chenille for a warm and inviting look.

If you want to create a soft and welcoming atmosphere, opt for natural shades such as cream, taupe or sand, which pair perfectly with materials like bouclé and solid wood. For a bolder interior, colours such as forest green, petrol blue or deep mustard add depth while remaining easy to incorporate. And if you love contrast, a black or terracotta armchair placed on a light-coloured rug creates a strong focal point without overwhelming the space.

Our designer armchair models

At NV Gallery, every modern armchair combines creativity and functionality: a wool-effect fabric armchair, the perfect cocoon for a Nordic-inspired interior; a bouclé fabric armchair, on-trend, modern and ultra-soft; a corduroy armchair for a contemporary twist on vintage style; or models combining textured fabrics, solid wood or chenille with a swivel base, creating a subtle fusion of authentic materials and refined design.

If an armchair is out of stock, our customer service team can help you find similar alternatives.

A well-chosen armchair does more than simply complement a sofa: it creates breathing space, contrast or visual continuity. If your sofa is neutral, choose a textured or colourful armchair to bring the overall look to life. Conversely, a more understated armchair works perfectly alongside a sofa with statement upholstery. Pay attention to proportions too: a low sofa pairs best with an armchair of a similar height, while a more substantial sofa works well with a visually lighter armchair. Finally, consider complementary materials: wood and fabric, metal and velvet, bouclé and solid wood.

How can you tell if an armchair is really comfortable?

The key lies in the fabric — textured, bouclé or chenille —, the density of the padding and the quality of the base, whether it features solid wood legs, a swivel base or textured finishes.

Can a designer armchair work in a small space?

Yes! A designer swivel armchair, a wool-effect fabric armchair or a model with slim legs provides a generous seat without visually overwhelming the space.

Can you try NV Gallery armchairs before buying?

Some of our armchair models are available in our stores, where you can see and try them in person. For the others, our product pages provide particularly detailed information, including dimensions, photos, materials, customer reviews and similar models if an item is out of stock.

At NV Gallery, every armchair is designed to be a statement piece in your interior. Premium materials, modern lines and lasting comfort: choose a designer armchair that is both functional and expressive.

And because an armchair doesn't exist in isolation, consider how it interacts with the other elements in your room: rugs, coffee tables, lighting, curtains… Every detail contributes to the overall composition of your interior. A well-positioned armchair can define an area without closing it off, guide the eye towards a light source or even create a personal corner within an open-plan space.
