These Accent Chairs are the Definition of a Personality Hire

"It's funny how an iconic chair can wiggle its way into your heart-just think of the statement-making Arne Jacobsen or the Eames. The best accent chairs are more than simple seating, showering a room in personality. No matter the tone of a space, there's a special seat to help define it. If you weren't already aware, design-forward chairs are abundant in the marketplace."

"If you weren't already aware, design-forward chairs are abundant in the marketplace. And we're talking an overwhelming amount: More than 50,000 results come up when you search "accent chairs" on Wayfair. Anyone who's accidentally purchased an especially stiff chair to flank a set of coffee tables knows first hand accounts are much better for assessing an accent chair's prowess than staged imagery."

Accent chairs function as statement pieces that add personality and help define a room's tone. The market offers an abundance of design-forward options, with searches returning tens of thousands of results. Firsthand testing and real-use experience reveal comfort and practical performance more reliably than staged imagery. A testing team sat and evaluated twelve chairs over several years, reclining, assessing, scrutinizing, and grading each model. The selected pieces span plush, pillow-like designs with chrome legs, sculptural statement chairs by notable designers, and reclined-relaxation models suited for lounging. Selections prioritize both aesthetic impact and true everyday comfort.
