Jover + Valls is an exciting modern Spanish furniture brand that seeks to combine traditional production techniques with innovative technologies for furnishings and decor that offer the best of both worlds. The company is primarily known for stylish seating such as stools, chaise lounges and armchairs. Jover + Valls also produces decorative home accessories like candleholders and throw blankets. 

Jover + Valls is the passion project of Javier Jover and Quico Valls. After earning his BFA at Universitat Politècnica de València, Jover gained experience working with leather by creating fashion accessories for Zara, a multi-national retail clothing brand. Valls, meanwhile, was learning about the intricacies of metalwork, including how to form aesthetic shapes while retaining the strength of the material. 

After two decades of working in their respective industries, Jover and Valls joined forces to build a brand that offers handmade luxury furniture and decor for any space. 

The atelier’s minimalist Wanderlust series draws on Bauhaus-level precision and features subtle details that you might miss at first glance, like in the modest-sized hand-turned nuts and bolts that affix the collection’s tanned cowhide leather seats and surfaces to the stool frames of the group’s armchairs, bar stools and ottomans. It was inspired in part by legendary German-American architect and designer Mies van der Rohe and his wisdom that "less is more."

With ergonomics in mind, Jover + Valls's Hug collection focuses more on the organic shapes and curves found in nature. Each light and airy chaise lounge or bar stool, which resemble the work of iconic modernist designer Charlotte Perriand, is inviting and envelops you in soft leather when you sit down.

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.
