It defines a reading nook, anchors a living space, and offers the kind of considered comfort that makes a house feel like a home. That's why we partner exclusively with manufacturers who share our commitment to lasting quality and considered design, including Kett, whose lounge chair collection exemplifies the understated elegance and structural integrity that defines our range.

Timeless Design

The occasional chairs at Cosh Living are curated for their timeless design appeal. An occasional chair is an essential part of the home — a place where we pause, reflect, and claim a quiet moment in a busy day. A great occasional chair should be an investment: a piece cherished across years, even decades. That's why we showcase only those we believe will outlast fleeting trends and stand the test of time.

Our designers and buying team evaluate every piece against the same enduring standard: does it offer considered proportions, superior construction, and a design language that transcends the moment? If the answer is yes, it earns a place in our collection.

Premium Materials

We use only premium materials for all our occasional chairs. Explore beautiful options including performance fabrics, full-grain leather, and solid timber — each chosen for its ability to deliver prolonged longevity and enduring comfort. Investing in quality occasional chair materials ensures your piece remains a source of daily pleasure for years to come.

Our collection spans the full range of contemporary material choices, from the tactile warmth of woven fabric to the cool sophistication of natural leather. Whether you favour the softness of upholstery or the clean structure of a timber frame, every option in our range is held to the same rigorous standard of craftsmanship and finish.

Selecting The Perfect Occasional Chair

When selecting an occasional chair, your choice of material can significantly influence the style and atmosphere of the space. If you prefer a soft, inviting ambience, fabric is a distinguished choice — its texture brings warmth and comfort to any room. For a more enduring and luxurious aesthetic, leather offers visual drama alongside everyday practicality, developing a richer character with age.

While each material carries its own unique charm, it's essential to consider how it will live alongside your household's rhythms. Families with young children may favour the resilience of performance fabrics or sealed leather; those seeking a considered statement piece may lean toward the enduring elegance of full-grain hide. There is no single answer — only the right answer for how you live.
