A Blu Dot Lounge Chair That's VersatilePS Photography | Jessica Harrington

A Blu Dot Lounge Chair That's Versatile

Blu Dot Field Lounge Chair in Maharam Candor in Cannoli ($2,195)

"I'm moving next month, and it's caused me to take a long, hard look at my furniture (as one does before packing up all of their possessions in boxes). I plan on doing some major redecorating in my new space and have been on the hunt for furniture that embodies a comfortable, cozy, yet sophisticated vibe. When I saw the Blu Dot Field Lounge Chair, I knew it would fit my vision perfectly.

The Maharam Candor fabric in the color Cannoli makes for the ideal neutral, so it matches seamlessly in my current space and will work with all of my living rooms to come. The chair itself is plush and super wide, making it ideal for all seating positions, including cross-legged (a personal favorite of mine). Assembly is easy — all you have to do is attach the legs — and it comes with a matching lumbar pillow. Now I just need the Field Ottoman to complete my set." — Jessica Harrington, senior editor, Beauty

A Blu Dot Lounge Chair For Small Spaces

Blu Dot Field Lounge Chair in Tait Blush ($1,995)

"Living in a studio apartment, I'm quite selective about the furniture I bring into my space. But this lounge chair turned out to be a great addition, giving me another comfy spot to sit in and helping to separate my bed area from my living space.

It was difficult to choose from all of Blu Dot's chic lounge chairs, but I landed on this cool, sculptural piece that comes with a lumbar pillow. I knew I liked the aesthetic, but I wasn't sure how comfortable it would be because of its sleek design. But as soon as I sat in the chair, I sunk in and got cozy very quickly. The chair is much more plush than it looks, and the cushions and gentle recline really amp up the comfort. I usually prefer to sit cross-legged, and the chair gives me plenty of room to do so.

I opted for in-home delivery and assembly, and as an added bonus, the service was incredible. My delivery partner helped me decide on the best spot for the chair, and didn't leave until I was 100 percent satisfied with the placement." — Yerin Kim, editor, Features

Blu Dot Looksee Swivel Lounge Chair in Camel Leather ($1,825)

"Reading is one of my favorite ways to relax, and I've been on the hunt for the right lounge chair to complete my dream reading nook. Blu Dot was kind enough to send me their new Looksee Swivel Lounge Chair, which I promptly set up by my bookshelf. Not only is the chair super comfy, but it complements my space perfectly.

The Looksee swivels 360 degrees, allowing me to switch my view and look out the window easily. The chair features a solid frame, comfortable seat and back cushion, and velvety feel. I have the Looksee in camel leather, which is cool to the touch while still being soft and cozy. Blu Dot says that it will develop a lovely patina over time — I can't wait to wear it in!" — Lauren Murphy, SEO coordinator

A Blu Dot Lounge Chair For Reclining

Blu Dot Field Lounge Chair in Maharam Candor in Cannoli ($2,195)

"Blu Dot has a great range of contemporary lounge chairs, but what drew me to the Field Lounge Chair was its sculpture-like, curved silhouette. It delivers a more elevated look that prioritizes comfort. Along with plush cushioning and an additional lumbar pillow, the lounge chair is slightly reclined, so I'm encouraged to lean back and truly lounge.

I was surprised by how wide the Field Lounge Chair is, especially since it looked slimmer online. But I'm not complaining at all. Its spacious frame lends itself to the coziness factor, making it easy to kick up my feet and curl up with a throw blanket. The Maharam Candor fabric is soft, yet durable — ideal for long hours of relaxing, especially with a good book and a cup of tea.

The Field Lounge Chair is great as an accent chair for a smaller space, but because of its width, it might be tough to fit two of them to round out your living room. It also has a lower profile, which might be something to consider if you have trouble getting up from low furniture pieces. The only way my new setup could be made even more comfortable is with the matching Field Ottoman." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Shopping
