Tamzin Pink Velvet Bar Chair

Not every bar chair needs to play it safe, and this one certainly does not. Soft mink-pink velvet covers the curved seat, back and arms in a way that feels luxurious rather than over-the-top — the kind of finish you run your hand across as you walk past it.

Slender gold finish metal legs keep things light beneath the plush upholstery, and the footrest means you can sit comfortably at bar height for as long as you like. Gold and blush is a pairing that suits both contemporary and more traditionally styled kitchens, especially when echoed in other fittings or accessories around the room.

This chair works particularly well where cabinetry or worktops lean warm — cream, ivory, sage or natural wood all make sympathetic companions. Buy two or three and line them along an island for a finished, cohesive look that feels genuinely well put together.
