Statement chairs provide not just extra seating, but are a great way to add a new silhouette, style reference or any colour to any room. We’ve gathered our five favourite retailers offering a mix of looks from occasional to wingbacks, and bergeres, old to new, at all ends of the price spectrum- so you have plenty of upright and sprawling options to suit all guests.
