The arrival of Robbie Williams's 13th album has been a complicated business. It was announced in May 2025 and was supposed to come out in October, when its title would have chimed with the 90s nostalgia sparked by the Oasis reunion. Williams spent the summer engaging in promotion, unveiling fake Britpop-themed blue plaques around London and staging a press conference at the Groucho Club.

Designed as a "gentle rebellion against overstimulation," the Introvert Chair is part sculpture, part sanctuary. Its generously padded wooden frame and enveloping curves create a cocoon-like shape that hugs the body, helped along by an internal swivel mechanism that adds a subtle sense of ease and movement. The fabric - a blended composition of virgin wool, alpaca, and cotton - is crafted using an innovative 3D quilting technique that transforms the material into a sculptural surface.

The UK pop legend recently revealed that he had to delay his latest album, Britpop, to avoid direct competition with all that is Swift-Mania. "We're all pretending [the scheduling change] is not about Taylor Swift, but it f**king is," Williams said. "You can't compete with that." The revelation (via ) came during Williams' Thursday evening set at London's Dingwalls.
