Overview
The "COLT" occasional chair is an absolute gem offering superior seating comfort from the soft Italian leather cushions supported by unique triangular shaped brushed stainless steel bars creating a very elegant frame and look. No reason to overthink this one.
What Makes the Colt Unique: Triangular Brushed Stainless Steel Bar Frame
The Colt's defining and most visually distinctive feature is its unique triangular shaped brushed stainless steel bars that form the chair's frame. This is not a standard round-tube or square-profile steel frame — the bars are triangular in cross-section, the same geometry noted on the Aarhus dining chair's solid oak legs. On stainless steel, a triangular profile is particularly dramatic: each of the three flat faces of the bar reflects light at a different angle, creating a shimmering, faceted quality as you move around the chair. The brushed finish — which runs parallel to the bar's length — adds a directional texture that further catches light and gives the steel a warm, satin quality rather than the cold mirror-like appearance of polished stainless.
The frame is described as creating "a very elegant frame and look" — and the combination of geometric precision (triangular cross-section) with premium finish (brushed stainless steel) and premium material (Italian leather) is what places the Colt firmly in the design-forward occasional chair category. This is a chair that reads as architecturally intentional — the frame is not background infrastructure but a visible, considered design element.
Dimensions
25"W × 33"D × 33"H
Compared to the Loki (30"W × 33"D × 31"H), the Colt is notably narrower (25" vs. 30") and taller (33" vs. 31"). Both chairs share the same 33" depth — the same generous seat depth suited for extended relaxed sitting. The Colt's narrower width gives it a more compact, focused footprint — less sprawling in the room, more upright in its proportions — while the extra height in overall dimension suggests the back rises slightly higher relative to the seat than the Loki's.
Compared to the Pearl swivel chair (25"W × 32"D × 33"H), the Colt shares almost identical overall dimensions — same width, near-identical depth, identical height — but the Pearl swivels and the Colt is a fixed-frame chair with an entirely different aesthetic character.
Design Aesthetic: Modern Classic, Industrial-Refined
The Colt belongs to the "Modern Classics" collection alongside the Loki and Pearl — a curatorial grouping of lounge chairs that draw from mid-century and contemporary design traditions while remaining accessible in price. Among the three:
Pearl (169AS) — swivel, minimal, pure contemporary. Two cool gray leather options.
Loki (4136) — fixed, warm, Scandinavian-wood. Two leather colors on two wood stains.
Colt (61008G) — fixed, cool, industrial-refined. Warm saddle leather on brushed stainless.
The Colt's stainless steel frame places it in an aesthetic tradition that includes iconic designs like the Barcelona Chair (Mies van der Rohe, 1929), the Wassily Chair (Marcel Breuer, 1925), and more contemporary steel-frame lounge chairs from Italian and Scandinavian manufacturers. These are chairs where the structural material is celebrated rather than concealed — where the engineering precision of the frame is as much the design statement as the upholstery.
The Colt is a chair that makes an immediate impression without requiring explanation: the quality of the materials, the geometry of the frame, and the simplicity of the one-color configuration speak clearly on their own.
