Jumbo Collection reintroduced classic Italian style to a contemporary audience. The luxury furniture brand is known for its stunning Louis XVI-style furniture made from materials like solid wood and fine fabric upholstery. Its sophisticated pieces include exquisitely detailed sofas and armchairs, as well as ornate side tables. Each piece is crafted by hand according to traditional techniques.

Jumbo Collection was established in Cantù, Italy, in 1985. It builds on hundreds of years of Italian furniture-making and design. After just a few years in business, Jumbo Collection was selling its furniture in Russian, Middle Eastern and Asian markets. In the 1990s, the company introduced even more styles and designs, all made by hand in Italy and refined to meet its high standards. 

The company positions itself as a brand for discerning buyers who value quality materials and aesthetic elegance. Jumbo Collection furniture is characterized by details like veneer inlays, intricate carvings and fine porcelain. Some of its pieces even feature semi-precious stones for an extra touch of luxury. Alongside this opulence, the furniture has modern clean and simple lines that allow these details to shine.

Jumbo Collection takes great pride in its Italian roots and manufacturing. It has received a 100% Made in Italy designation from the Institute for the Protection of Italian Manufacturers. The company is also part of Qualità Cantù 2001, a local association that promotes handmade Italian products abroad.

As reported by Interior Furniture Design Magazine, Jumbo Collection refocused on classicism and extreme luxury in 2022 as part of a more extensive rebranding operation. To support this effort, the company debuted its Interior Design Service, which is aimed at consumers, designers, studios and architects looking to collaborate on one-of-a-kind pieces.

Armchairs have run the gamut from prestige to ease and everything in between, and everyone has an antique or vintage armchair that they love.

Long before industrial mass production democratized seating, armchairs conveyed status and power.

In ancient Egypt, the commoners took stools, while in early Greece, ceremonial chairs of carved marble were designated for nobility. But the high-backed early thrones of yore, elevated and ornate, were merely grandiose iterations of today’s armchairs.

Modern-day armchairs, built with functionality and comfort in mind, are now central to tasks throughout your home. Formal dining armchairs support your guests at a table for a cheery feast, a good drafting chair with a deep seat is parked in front of an easel where you create art and, elsewhere, an ergonomic wonder of sorts positions you at the desk for your 9 to 5.

When placed under just the right lamp where you can lounge comfortably, both elbows resting on the padded supports on each side of you, an upholstered armchair — or a rattan armchair for your light-suffused sunroom — can be the sanctuary where you’ll read for hours.

If you’re in the mood for company, your velvet chesterfield armchair is a place to relax and be part of the conversation that swirls around you. Maybe the dialogue is about the beloved Papa Bear chair, a mid-century modern masterpiece from Danish carpenter and furniture maker Hans Wegner, and the wingback’s strong association with the concept of cozying up by the fireplace, which we can trace back to its origins in 1600s-era England, when the seat’s distinctive arm protrusions protected the sitter from the heat of the period’s large fireplaces.

If the fireside armchair chat involves spirited comparisons, your companions will likely probe the merits of antique and vintage armchairs such as Queen Anne armchairs, Victorian armchairs or even Louis XVI armchairs, as well as the pros and cons of restoration versus conservation.

Everyone seems to have a favorite armchair and most people will be all too willing to talk about their beloved design. Whether that’s the unique Favela chair by Brazilian sibling furniture designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, who repurposed everyday objects to provocative effect; or Marcel Breuer’s futuristic tubular metal Wassily lounge chair; the functionality-first LC series from Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret; or the Eames lounge chair of the mid-1950s created by Charles and Ray Eames, there is an iconic armchair for everyone and every purpose.
