Maximize Your Comfort With a Puffy Armchair That’s Large and in Charge

Montgolfiere Armchair

(Bloomberg Businessweek) -- Dimensions: 44.1"w x 43.3"d x 29.5"h
As part of the Globe Trotter collection for French furniture brand Roche Bobois, this design— from the exuberant mind of Marcel Wanders— looks light and fluffy but is solidly constructed from pine, fir, and metal. And if this red fabric is too tame for you, there are bolder options. It can also be configured as a sofa or an ottoman. $5,100; roche-bobois.com

Puffer Chair
