Elegant Range: Shanghai

A stylish and comfortable chair from the Elegant Range, designed for modern living spaces and available in a wide choice of fabrics.

The Shanghai Chair is a celebration of Art Deco glamour reimagined for modern living. Its sculptural fluted silhouette features vertical channel tufting that radiates elegantly across the high, curved backrest, creating a dramatic play of light and shadow. Upholstered in a luxurious crushed velvet in deep cerulean blue, the fabric shimmers with every movement. The chair is grounded by a dark-stained wooden plinth base with minimalist square-tapered legs, offering a refined contrast to the plush, organic curves above. With deep, dacron-wrapped reflex foam cushioning, the Shanghai provides exceptional comfort while the sweeping fluted backrest supports you effortlessly.
