Highgate Sheepskin Armchair with Oak Frame

Highgate Sheepskin Armchair – tactile comfort framed in oak

The Highgate Sheepskin Armchair with Oak Frame combines generous lounge proportions with richly textured upholstery and a beautifully defined timber structure. Soft cream sheepskin envelops the seat and back, while the warm oak frame introduces contrast, structure and a more architectural character.

The design is particularly distinctive for its continuous curved oak arms, which sweep around the sides of the chair and visually connect with the low timber base. This exposed framework gives Highgate a lighter, more considered silhouette than a fully upholstered armchair, while allowing the natural character of the wood to remain an important part of the design.

The deep seat and substantial back are upholstered in long-pile sheepskin, creating a soft, tactile surface with natural-looking movement and variation. Against the smoother grain of the oak, the upholstery becomes the defining visual feature of the chair, giving it a relaxed yet distinctly luxurious presence.

Measuring 75 cm high, 76 cm wide and 90 cm deep, Highgate has the proportions of a comfortable lounge chair without becoming excessively wide. The seat height of 46 cm provides a practical everyday sitting position, while the armrests sit at 54 cm high.

A statement armchair for refined living spaces

Highgate works particularly well as an individual statement chair within a living room, positioned beside a sofa, fireplace or side table. Its warm cream upholstery introduces softness into interiors dominated by timber, stone, plaster or other architectural materials, while the oak frame creates a natural connection with wooden flooring and furniture.

In a larger living room, a pair of Highgate armchairs can be used opposite a sofa to create a balanced conversation area. Alternatively, a single chair positioned with a side table and floor lamp creates a considered reading corner without requiring a complete seating arrangement.

The chair also works beautifully in a bedroom, dressing room, home library or private sitting area where its texture can be appreciated from close range. Explore more luxury armchairs or discover our wider selection of luxury living room furniture to build a cohesive interior.

Sheepskin upholstery and sculptural oak detailing

The contrast between sheepskin and oak gives the Highgate armchair much of its character. The long, tactile pile creates softness and visual depth, while the exposed wooden arms bring definition to the silhouette and prevent the generous upholstery from appearing visually heavy.

The chair is constructed with oak and incorporates foam and filling to create its substantial seat and back. At 25 kg, it has a reassuringly solid presence while remaining suitable as an occasional or everyday lounge chair within a carefully planned seating arrangement.

The cream and warm brown palette works naturally with linen, bouclé, wool, travertine, marble, dark timber and aged metal finishes. Highgate is particularly suited to contemporary, organic modern, modern rustic and quiet luxury interiors, where contrast is created through material and texture rather than excessive ornament.

For a more intimate setting, pair the chair with a sculptural side table and a floor lamp. In a bedroom or dressing area, it can also provide a comfortable upholstered accent without the scale of a sofa.
