Rich black velvet meets a frame built entirely from clear acrylic — the Clarence armchair creates an almost gravity-defying silhouette that feels genuinely luxurious.
There’s something almost theatrical about an armchair that appears to float. Clear acrylic arms and legs make the Clarence feel weightless despite its substantial, plush seat — and that contrast between visible structure and rich upholstery is central to its appeal.
The black velvet upholstery is doing a lot here. Deep, soft and tactile, it makes sitting in this chair feel like an occasion rather than a necessity. It works especially well in rooms that play with bold contrasts: dark walls, pale rugs, metallic accessories. A thoroughly modern piece of seating.
