The TV show is almost the least of it, we had been seeing a Chester sofa at a good price in many decoration shop windows and in trend magazines for a long time. In Fiaka we had worked this <strong>capitonn\u00e9<\/strong>, although not so pronounced, in other furniture, such as the <a title=\"Bellagio nightclub furniture\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/blog\/muebles-de-diseno-a-medida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bellagio room in Granada<\/a>. Below we explain the possibilities to combine it.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that its appearance oozes comfort. And not because of its backrest and armrests, because the Chester sofa is by definition and origin a robust and upright piece. But its cushions and its bulky capitonn\u00e9 give it an air that already seems <strong>homey, safe and pleasant<\/strong>. In its most classic version, which is predominant in today&#8217;s vintage and retro interior design trends, it must be made of leather and in a dark and bright color. This is how it looks:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6319\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6319\" style=\"width: 533px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6319 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sofa-chester-clasico.jpg\" alt=\"classic Chester sofa\" width=\"533\" height=\"799\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Classic Chester sofa, via planete-deco.fr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6320\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6320\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6320 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sofa-chester-cuero.jpg\" alt=\"Urban mix in De Andar por Casas.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Urban mix in De Andar por Casas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6321\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6321\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6321 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sillon-chester-clasico.jpg\" alt=\"Chester, in armchair mode.

The most natural thing to do is to make it a vintage reference within a decoration of this style, even with aged leather. We do not recommend it especially for a project with a very purist Nordic air, although the one we have in our portfolio, in luminous white, could fit.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in a very British idea, a Chester sofa or armchair is a rose in a garden, something that should not be missing and that looks great. It goes well with baroque elements and with the most loaded decorations, in a very minimalist interior design it could stand out too much. An idea that may be risky but appeals to us is the combination of some of these icons, such as the BKF chair or the Eames, or the LC2.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, Chester likes wood, natural and worn objects, maps and antique relics, discreet flowers and ornate frames, candles and trunks, antique lamps and, of course, a good tea set!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What was once a piece of high British alcurnias ended up becoming an icon of English furniture, and for some time now, a very fashionable type of sofa.
