{"product_id":"sn-fauteuil-capiton","title":"Capiton Armchair","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"capiton-fr\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou already know this chair.\u003c\/strong\u003e You've seen it a hundred times — in a hotel lobby, behind an architect in a magazine feature, in a photo of an apartment you saved without knowing why. That checkerboard of buttoned leather squares, set on two crossing steel blades. You never managed to put a name to it. You just thought: \u003cem\u003enow that's a real armchair.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen one day you looked it up. And you closed the tab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Capiton Armchair is that very silhouette.\u003c\/strong\u003e The same steel crossing, the same tufting, the same reclined seat. Without the six-thousand-plus dollars that normally come with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it changes in a room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA couch fills a living room. An armchair \u003cstrong\u003ecomposes\u003c\/strong\u003e it. It's the piece you put in the empty corner by the window, the one nobody knows how to furnish — and suddenly the corner becomes a place you go to sit with a coffee and a book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one has an advantage most armchairs don't: \u003cstrong\u003eit has no armrests.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nothing sticks out, nothing blocks the view, nothing cuts the room in two. Set in front of a light wall, it reads like a sculpture. Set with its back to a window, you see daylight pass between the steel blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is formed by \u003cstrong\u003etwo flat steel blades that cross\u003c\/strong\u003e — one continuous curve from front to back, the other from back to front, joined at a single point. That crossing is the whole chair: there are no four legs, no bracket, no visible screw. The steel is mirror-polished until the joint disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seat isn't a carved block of foam. It's made of \u003cstrong\u003esquares stitched one by one\u003c\/strong\u003e, each edged with piping and closed with a covered button — that's what tufting is, and it's what gives the leather that relief that catches the light instead of reflecting it flat. Underneath, \u003cstrong\u003etensioned straps\u003c\/strong\u003e hold the cushions: that's where the give comes from when you sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe questions you're asking yourself\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Is it actually comfortable?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, and not by chance: the back is reclined and the seat is low — 43 cm (17 in) off the floor. It's a chair you settle back into, not an office seat. You sit in it in the evening, not to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Will it eat up my living room?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n75 cm (29.5 in) wide, 76 cm (30 in) deep. That's less than a club chair, and since it's \u003cstrong\u003eopen on the sides and under the seat\u003c\/strong\u003e, it doesn't block the eye: the room continues through it. That's exactly why it works in small living rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Is the ottoman really useful?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt changes the nature of the piece. \u003cstrong\u003eWithout it, it's a chair you sit in. With it, it's a place you stay.\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses the same steel crossing and the same tufting, at mid-height — and when you're not using it, it becomes a side table to set a tray on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Is it complicated to assemble?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The frame arrives formed; the cushions sit on the straps and fasten with their ties. Allow a quarter of an hour, no special tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"How does it age?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe polished steel is cleaned with a dry cloth. The leather develops a patina — the tufted squares soften gently where you sit, and that's precisely what makes it look, after two years, like it has always been there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who've understood that \u003cstrong\u003ea single object is enough to transform an entire room.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can repaint, change the curtains, pile up the cushions — or set the Capiton in the corner and watch the living room become something else in one evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the price of this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sunnyard","offers":[{"title":"Chair only \/ Black","offer_id":58783662899581,"sku":"CAP-S-NO","price":69.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chair only \/ White","offer_id":58783662932349,"sku":"CAP-S-BL","price":69.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chair only \/ Cognac","offer_id":58783662965117,"sku":"CAP-S-CO","price":69.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chair only \/ Taupe","offer_id":58783662997885,"sku":"CAP-S-TA","price":69.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chair + ottoman \/ Black","offer_id":58783663030653,"sku":"CAP-D-NO","price":89.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chair + ottoman \/ White","offer_id":58783663063421,"sku":"CAP-D-BL","price":89.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chair + ottoman \/ Cognac","offer_id":58783663096189,"sku":"CAP-D-CO","price":89.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chair + ottoman \/ Taupe","offer_id":58783663128957,"sku":"CAP-D-TA","price":89.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/2647\/1549\/files\/01-hero-noir_817e898d-1a18-48ab-9ae4-ef6ccc151f75.jpg?v=1790666715","url":"https:\/\/sunnyardco.com\/en\/products\/sn-fauteuil-capiton","provider":"Sunnyardco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
