Ex-Display - Idler Armchair in Laidback Linen Heather

Whether pulled up beside a warm fireplace or next to a window with a view, the Idler armchair offers a cosy spot for quiet moments. Characterised by gently curved arms, playful spherical feet and a deep, coil-sprung seat, the Idler armchair is the ultimate in luxurious comfort.

At NiX, quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do. Our made-to-order upholstery is proudly crafted in the UK by our partner that has been handmaking fine furniture for over 60 years. The Idler armchair's Sustainably certified beech hardwood frame and solid oak feet are carefully joined and secured with a Lifetime Guarantee for complete peace of mind.

This product is upholstered in our soft but strong Laidback Linen fabric that brings a relaxed and informal feel to the interior. Crafted in Italy through a meticulous process of weaving, dyeing, and tumbling, our Laidback Linen works seamlessly with our Intelligent Velvet and NiX checks and stripes.

Seat cushions are carefully filled with a 50:50 mix of Spanish Barbary duck feathers – a by-product of the meat industry – and Quallofil Blue, a recycled fibre. The result is a cushion that you can sink into yet keeps its shape, eliminating the need for frequent plumping. Fabric covers are expertly stitched and every component is individually upholstered to be well-used and well-loved for years to come.

• Exclusive to NiX by Nicola Harding
• Legs solid oak (forest oak mid-stain)

Once a week, use your vacuum cleaner’s upholstery nozzle to help stop dust from building up. You can also use a soft, clean brush to clean the fabric, paying particular attention to the arms and any pleats. This will help to combat fabric wear and stop colour fading. 

Our seat cushions have the same fabric on the top and bottom, making it easy to flip them over when plumping. 

Delivered with travel feet, and bolt-on feet packaged separately.

However, by choosing our White Glove Delivery service (+£150) at checkout, our delivery crew will install it for you in your room of choice, and will take away the packaging for recycling when they are done.

Our products are designed to be future heirlooms, investment pieces that will stand the test of time and endure across generations. That is why all of our upholstery frames come with a Lifetime Guarantee.
