When you’re browsing for the right sofa recline chair, those designed in mid-century modern, modern and Art Deco styles are of considerable interest. A well-made sofa recline chair has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Osvaldo Borsani, Tecno and De Sede are consistently popular.
How Much is a Sofa Recline Chair?
Prices for a sofa recline chair can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $575 and can go as high as $55,746, while the average can fetch as much as $4,950.
Finding the Right seating for You
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
Questions About Sofa Recline Chair
- What is a recliner chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024A recliner chair is an armchair that moves in such a way that a user can sit with their feet elevated. Usually controlled by a button or lever, the recliner mechanism simultaneously raises the footrest and tilts the backrest. Sofas, loveseats and sectionals may also include recliner functionality. Find a range of recliner chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021The best brand of reclining sofas is really a matter of preference. When choosing a reclining sofa, one should take style, comfort, quality, materials and color into account. Shop a range of antique and vintage reclining sofas on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022In 1928, a patent was issued to two American cousins, Edward Knabush and Edwin Shoemaker, which trademarked the design of a reclining wooden bench. This patent would later go on to become La-Z-Boy. Shop a collection of reclining furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The best leather recliner chair will really be a matter of preference — what kind of recliner do you need? Keep size in mind, especially if you’re working with a small space. You’ll want to prioritize comfort and durability, too. 1stDibs offers a variety of leather recliner chairs.
- Is a sofa a chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024By the strictest definition, a sofa is not a chair. Generally, a chair is a seating solution for one person. Since a sofa seats more than one person at a time, it usually isn't considered a chair. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary chairs and sofas.
- What is a sofa chair called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A sofa chair is an armchair. This single seater chair often pairs with a sofa.
- Should sofa and chairs match?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, a sofa and chair can match. The choice to match a sofa and chairs is really a matter of preference. General design wisdom recommends against matching your sofa and chairs, however. Juxtaposition can create an interesting sense of diversity in your space — express yourself with a provocative mix of sizes and profiles. Find all kinds of sofas and chairs on 1stDibs to get started.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, an accent chair can be lower than a sofa. For example, you may place a low slipper chair beside a taller sofa in your seating area. To create a balanced look, limit the height difference between your sofa and accent chairs to no more than four inches. Find a large selection of accent chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023You can match sofas and accent chairs in a few different ways. One option is to choose sofas and chairs in similar solid colors. Alternatively, you can select a sofa in the primary color of your palette and accent chairs in the secondary hue. Another approach is to pair a patterned sofa with solid-colored accent chairs or vice versa. Find a large selection of sofas and accent chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023No, your accent chair doesn't have to match your sofa, but many people choose to coordinate them. This means you don't have to purchase matching chairs with your sofa or choose chairs in identical upholstery. Accent chairs and sofas can coordinate if they show off similar colors or materials, giving you the freedom to mix and match. Explore a variety of accent chairs and sofas on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A single sofa chair is often called a loveseat, which is larger than a typical armchair, but still too small for more than one person. Browse a collection of loveseats today on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021There are many chair colors that can complement a green sofa and is a matter of preference. Based on the design style and decor scheme of your living space you could choose colors that complement your green sofa. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of antique and vintage chairs
