Carlisle Chair

The Carlisle Chair by Stanley Furniture is the sofa's traditional silhouette in a 31-inch seat: slim 4-inch arms that slope from back to front, a tight tailored back with a fitted back cushion, and tapered dark feet. The footprint is small and the profile is classic, which makes it the chair for a formal living room, a bedroom, or a pair on either side of a console.

Like the sofa, it sits softer than it looks. The 42-inch depth and a single seat cushion give when you sit, and the tailored back keeps you upright for reading or conversation. The low front of the sloped arm is comfortable to rest a wrist on.

The Carlisle Chair is built on a kiln-dried hardwood frame, primarily solid alder, with corner blocks that are glued, stapled and screwed. Arched 8.5-gauge sinuous steel springs with double tie-wires support the seat quietly and without sag. Cushions are a high-density foam core wrapped in a feather-locked envelope of Trillium gel-blown fiber, as soft as down without the feathers, so they give without going flat. Built to order in the USA in your choice of 60+ fabrics and delivered in 6 to 8 weeks.
