Unusual chairs: how to use them to enrich an interior

12 March 2025 | SICIS

Of course, chairs have a specific use, but that’s no reason to consider them a merely functional element within a design project. Incorporating unusual chairs into an interior can instead bring added personality and a distinctive style into the spaces, giving them more character and bringing a touch of class that can make them unique. In this article, let’s look at how to build unusual chairs into a decorative scheme, by introducing innovative design elements that will turn the house into a truly recognizable space.

Take a step back in time with vintage chairs

When it comes unusually designed chairs, those with a vintage style are currently extremely sought after, reinterpreting the lines and materials of the past to give added personality to a space. Vintage chairs, which can be period products or modern twists on an earlier style, represent an exceptional choice for anyone looking for a retro or unique touch.

If you’re keen to focus on this type of trend, we recommend opting for chairs with classical lines, rich colors, and premium materials, such as the Blow chair, with a solid wood and plywood structure, which revisits the creativity typical of the 1950s, bringing an unmistakable element of style into the home.

Unusual chairs: comfort and style with upholstered armchairs

Another excellent solution for combining comfort and design in an interior comes courtesy of upholstered armchairs, which are not just for sitting on but also aimed at providing maximum comfort. Thanks to their soft upholstery, all the more so if they’re made from high-quality materials such as goose down or memory foam, upholstered armchairs envelop the body in a welcoming embrace, turning the experience of sitting into a relaxing ritual.

Upholstered armchairs not only offer exceptional comfort, but also add an element of luxury and sophistication, such as the Diamond Accent chair model, a chair with classic and refined lines that can also be carefully positioned in more modern rooms to create a truly unusual blend.

Bar stools: dynamic and versatile

If unusual modern chairs are on your shopping list, don’t discount another interesting possibility: bar stools. Ideal for more informal spaces such as kitchens or dining areas, this type of chair is available in a variety of models, with adjustable heights and eye-catching designs that will add a modern and dynamic touch.

For this type of product, we recommend always choosing hard-wearing materials as well as lines and colors that match with other pieces nearby, perhaps by focusing on elegance and harmony with a model such as the Amaretto bar stool, designed to bring just the right amount of glamor to a room.

Chairs inspired by art: original interiors

For art enthusiasts, every element in an interior can play a vital role in creating an original and unusual atmosphere—it’s not just the paintings on the walls, sculptures, and premium carpets that enrich a home, but often more unexpected solutions such as unusual chairs with a refined and sophisticated touch.

Chairs with details in premium velvet and mosaic or models with shapes inspired by nature can become works of art in their own right that function as part of the living space. Need an example? The chairs in the Next Art collection, the result of a collaboration with the artist Carla Tolomeo, offer some truly artistic design solutions.

Unusual chairs: finding harmony in diversity

Despite the diverse range of styles available, one of the key points to consider when trying to bring unusual chairs into an interior is to pay attention to ensuring they fit harmoniously with the other elements in the home. The key is to always strike a balance between the boldness of the chairs and the context around them, creating a successful visual dialog.

Unusual design chairs offer a surprising and expressive way to personalize an interior—from vintage styles to upholstered armchairs, and from bar stools to chairs inspired by art, discover your favorite pieces from among a huge range of options, with something to suit all tastes. The most important thing is to combine creativity with harmony, turning every chair into a design element that contributes to the uniqueness of a room.
