The Manhattan Occasional Chair takes the classic wingback and gives it a contemporary edit — the high, structured back and winged silhouette stay, but the proportions are softened and the upholstery is a rich, warm brown that reads as modern rather than traditional. Like its cocktail namesake, it's a classic done with confidence, built to anchor a room rather than blend into it.
The high back and wide wings create a naturally enclosed, cocooning seat — ideal for a reading corner, a primary bedroom sitting area, or as a striking accent chair in a living room that needs a single strong statement piece. At 35.5"W x 32.25"D x 32"H, it's substantial enough to command attention without overwhelming a smaller room.
The deep brown upholstery is warm rather than heavy, pairing easily with both warm woods and cooler neutrals, and the structured wings keep the silhouette sharp even as the cushioning stays soft and supportive. Tapered legs underneath keep the overall look grounded and modern instead of overstuffed or dated.
This is a chair built for the room that needs one serious, well-considered seat — next to a fireplace, flanking a console table, or as the single accent piece in an otherwise minimal room. The Manhattan Occasional Chair proves a wingback silhouette can still feel current when the proportions and materials are right. Dimensions: 35.5"W x 32.25"D x 32"H.
