However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission.This is the Carlo Mid-Century Chair at West Elm. You can probably guess how it got the name, as it positvely oozes the style of that era.

Yes, unashamedly mid-century / midcentury in look and taking particular inspiration from Italian furnishings of that era. Strong lines, angled arms, a pitched back and of course, those wonderful cast metal legs with a brass finish. I think the latter is definitely the killer feature here.

The one finish, described as a twill granite and a price of £599 from West Elm.

A chair may or may not have armrests; chairs with armrests are termed armchairs. In French, a distinction is made between fauteuil and chaise, the terms for chairs with and without armrests, respectively. In Germany, an armchair was once called a Krankensessel, or sick-chair, because it was intended for people who were too ill to stand or sit without extra support.[30]

If present, armrests will support part of the body weight through the arms if the arms are resting on the armrests. Elbow rest height is used to determine the height of the armrests. Armrests should support the forearm and not the sensitive elbow area. Hence in some chair designs, the armrest is not continuous to the chair back, but is missing in the elbow area. Armrests further have the function of making entry and exit from the chair easier (but from the side it becomes more difficult).
