The Egoist Occasional chair offers great flexibility for a variety of interior design styles. Transitional furniture pieces such as these can fit in both modern and traditional living rooms. I like the statement that Egoist makes in red. Red is a color that is sure to spruce up any living room often creating a great contrast with a central piece such as a sofa. Another aspect I like is the fact that this chair is small. Its shape conveys a small petite existence which many people look for in furniture, but often find larger oversized pieces being the norm. Egoist is available in several options to include: no armrest, with armrest, and with a slipcover. Dimensions: 69cm x 55cm x 107 cm. Price: €639. Product: here.
