Our senior editor Bree bought this velvet office chair about a year ago, and she’s still loving it. “My home office has a sort of dark academia look to it, with a walnut desk, brown curtains, and taupe-toned walls, so this ochre velvet chair fit the vibe perfectly. I wanted an office chair that didn’t look too much like an office chair, so opting for a barrel design really helped achieve that. I draped a blanket over it to visually elongate the back and sort of hide the wheels, which definitely added to that office-chair-but-not look I was going for. It’s also super comfortable and was easy to put together.”
