Manhattan Black Tub Chair

Stud detailing is one of those design choices that can look cheap or look exceptional depending on how it’s executed — and on the Manhattan, it’s executed very well. The metallic studs follow the curve of the backrest precisely, framing the button-tufted black velvet in a way that feels considered and deliberate rather than decorative for its own sake.

Antique brass finish legs anchor the piece and give it a warm contrast against the dark velvet upholstery. It’s the kind of combination that works in a moody library or study, alongside a pale rug in a contemporary sitting room, or as a solo accent in a bedroom with a minimal aesthetic.

Constructed with a plywood and foam interior, the Manhattan tub chair is built to be sat in rather than just looked at. It has a generous, welcoming shape, with the stainless steel frame providing the structural reliability you’d hope for in a chair you’ll reach for regularly.
