Banquettes are making a comeback in home design, offering warmth and versatility beyond traditional kitchen settings.
The reimagined Monster Chair collection features a hand-embroidered creature sprawling across the backrest, rendered in vivid, layered threadwork that transforms the iconic design.
The Basset Longue is a chaise longue upholstered in wavy, brown-striped faux fur, shaped after a Basset Hound, and mounted on chrome legs with a tail detail at one end.
Home office setups vary widely. Some people work from a laptop in bed, on the sofa, or at the kitchen table, while others prefer a traditional desk-based arrangement. For those in the latter category, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the vast number of ergonomic desk chair options, which vary massively in price. The Herman Miller Aeron, for example, is often brought up in discussions surrounding the world's best task chair, retails for nearly $2,000.
We've been rigorously testing work-from-home gear for years-even prior to the Covid-19 remote work boom-and that includes dozens of office chairs and desks. Branch furniture has made standouts that are highlighted in our guides over and over again. Its Presidents' Day deals have been extended, bringing some of the better discounts we've seen on essentials we've tested like chairs and desks.
Originally conceived by designer Niels Diffrient over twenty years ago, the Diffrient Lounge is not just for relaxation, it also happens to be a great spot to work in. Ok, so you might not think of a lounge chair as something you would use in your work from home setup, but with its integrated work surface and ergonomic design, you won't want to work anywhere else.
