What makes armchairs so special and comfortable?

An armchair is much more than just a chair - it is the piece of furniture that naturally combines design and cosiness. Anyone who has ever sat in an armchair in the dining room will recognise this feeling: the armrest relieves pressure on the shoulders and neck, provides gentle support for the arms and invites you to lean back and take a deep breath.

Whether at breakfast at the dining table, over coffee in the reading corner or during a long conversation with a good glass of wine - high-quality armchairs combine ergonomic function with a cosy atmosphere. Their sophisticated seat surface promotes a natural and relaxed posture, so that you automatically sit more upright but also more comfortably. The interplay between the backrest and armrests supports a natural sitting posture - and provides moments of soothing calm in everyday life.

The armrests not only offer comfort, but also a touch of cosiness - they create moments of arrival. Combined with classic dining chairs, modern armchairs or a cosy armchair, they create flexible seating that blends effortlessly into the living and dining area. The armchair thus becomes a unifying element - a piece of furniture that combines warmth, aesthetics and the typical Swiss feeling of living.

How do you choose the right armchair for your interior style?

Every room tells its own story – and an armchair should fit seamlessly into this chapter. To ensure that your new favourite seat fits harmoniously into the room concept, it's worth taking a look at designs, materials and lines. Modern armchairs impress with their timeless design language. The minimalist design in particular, with fine contours and balanced proportions, brings calm to the overall picture and makes rooms appear open and dignified. 

A wooden armchair, on the other hand, creates cosiness. The material radiates naturalness and durability – perfect for a dining room where people like to spend time. Models with metal legs set modern accents, are visually appealing thanks to their sleek lines and are ideal for innovative living concepts or loft interiors. 

Combinations of different materials also have a lively effect: Wood with fabric stands for Scandinavian cosiness, metal with leather for modern elegance. Whether as a dining chair, a single statement piece or as a cantilever chair in the lounge area – armchairs fit into different rooms and characterise the style there. They are an expression of taste and individuality – and give the home that balance of comfort and character that characterises stylish living in Switzerland.

What should you look out for when buying armchairs?

An armchair is a purchase for many years – so it's worth taking a close look when buying one. If you pay attention to a few details, you can combine aesthetics with ergonomic sophistication. It's not just the seat height that's important, but the height of the armrests in particular: it should be adjusted so that the armchair with armrests can be easily pushed under the table top. This not only keeps the dining table tidy, but also ensures a relaxed sitting position that remains comfortable – even for hours on end. 

The material also deserves attention. Leather and genuine leather are hard-wearing, pleasantly cool in summer and warm in winter – ideal for seating furniture that is used every day. If you value durability, look for a sturdy frame and careful upholstery. 

Practical details such as a swivelling seat make the armchair particularly ergonomic and versatile. Such a model can serve as an elegant desk chair in the study or provide flexible mobility in a dining room chair ensemble. No matter which eye-catcher you choose – in the range at Schubiger you will find armchairs that are visually appealing and have a noticeable quality.

Which materials and which cover is best to choose for armchairs?

The material of an armchair is decisive for its effect – and for the feeling it conveys. A classic armchair with genuine leather upholstery gives rooms a high-quality touch and is also particularly easy to clean. This combination of elegance and suitability for everyday use makes it a constant companion – whether in the family dining area or in prestigious rooms. Those who prefer a softer feel can opt for faux leather or upholstered fabric covers. Both materials are versatile, easy to clean and adapt to different uses thanks to their variety of colours and textures. 

The frame continues the style: metal legs emphasise modern design, while wooden frames add a homely touch. Particularly popular are versions as cantilever chairs – their springy construction ensures gentle movement and noticeably increases seating comfort. 

Whether as a single eye-catcher in the open-plan living area or as a harmonious centrepiece in the dining area – high-quality armchairs embody elegance and quality. They bring clarity and structure to minimalist interiors, while adding warm accents to classic interiors. Each model shows in its own way that good design at Schubiger is always more than just aesthetics: it is a promise of comfort, craftsmanship and Swiss living culture.
