Tub chairs are a common sight in both the domestic and commercial environments, their stylish shape being instantly recognisable. Tub chairs are the seating of choice in many of the finest hotels in the world, as well as office reception areas, libraries and coffee houses.
With an unpretentious design which remains very close to its original concept, tub chairs are durable and hard-wearing. Available in leather or fabric finishes, tub chairs are the perfect shape for almost any room. Fabrics can be found in a vast assortment of colours and designs, with a choice of textures to blend with any décor or function.
On their own, tub chairs have a simple, contemporary look, but this can easily be styled with the addition of throws or cushions to give a more sumptuous air.
Interestingly, there is some psychology to the attraction of tub chairs. The low back and low arm rest positions elevate the sitter and give a sense of power. This in turn releases serotonin in the brain, making people feel good. It's not surprising, then, to find that the earliest tub chairs were chosen by royalty and nobility.
Fortunately, you don't need a crown or title to enjoy tub chairs these days – indeed they are just as likely to be found in student accommodation as they are in a Gentlemen's Club in Knightsbridge.
The versatility of tub chairs ensures they remain a popular choice for many rooms in the home. Use them as bedroom chairs, occasional seating in the conservatory or as a welcoming seat in a spacious hallway.
When considering the purchase of leather tub chairs, there are points to bear in mind. Remember that leather comes in various grades – these indicate which part of the cow hide the leather is from. The higher the grade, the more durable the leather will be, as it retains its natural oils. Lower grade leather is less durable and over time small cracks will begin to appear. You will know if real leather is used, as natural leather has a distinctive scent and the naturally occurring patterns in the grain.
Whatever your preference, we are sure we will have the perfect choice for you, among our extensive collection of tub chairs.
