Velvet Lounge Chairs
If settling into a comfortable chair with a good book feels like an indulgence, allow us to indulge you. Our favorite reading chairs run the gamut from well-rounded to structured, velvet-draped—like Urbia's Channeled Accent Chair, above—to leather-clad, but share some vital traits: generous proportions, sumptuous cushioning, and the looks to complement any stylish interior scheme. The only danger? You may well nestle in for a long read, but nod off in record time.
