Slipper chairs have many features of modern day lounge living; low to the ground, wide seat and high back. They complement a range of interior design schemes and their informal feel work well today. Many modern designers work with slipper chairs, relishing the classic clean lines. I deal for in front of a window because their low height does not block views. When looking for pairs they are the ideal choice as the occupy less space then armchairs. 

Slipper chairs were historically used in a lady`s bedroom. Being smaller in scale and lower to the ground than a traditional armchair made them perfect for dressing and tying up shoes. The lack of arms allowed room for billowing Victorian skirts. 

Height of the seat:  42 cm
