Our Stylist Says

I’m a fan of the Ambassador chair for its generous proportions and solid roll-arm silhouette - it’s instantly at home in both classic country schemes and more tailored, city-apartment layouts. The high, straight back makes it ideal by a bookcase or window nook, while the deep seat invites you to curl up with a novel. To style it, layer in a textured wool throw over one arm and pick a cushion in a complementary print or tone-on-tone velvet to soften the geometric upholstery. Position a low, slim-lined floor lamp beside it rather than a bulky table lamp to keep the space feeling open, and add a small side table in wood or brass for practical storage without overwhelming the chair’s strong presence.
