The chair you sink into and don't get out of for an hour.

Barrel silhouette, beige velvet upholstery, 360-degree swivel so you can rotate toward the TV, the window, the dog who just walked in. The shape wraps around you — head, shoulders, arms — without committing the floor space a full recliner asks for.

Wide enough to fold a leg under you. Narrow enough not to dominate the living room. Velvet ages soft instead of stiff.

The accent chair that gets used more than the couch by the day after you buy it.
