A gracefully scalloped back gives Felix a decidedly residential vibe, while its wraparound body, wide seat and height adjustment provide much-needed ergonomic support.

New Zealand designer and Resident creative director Simon James applied his signature approach – namely, positioning people at the centre of his designs – to create a chair with strong character and a shape that is uncomplicated but that enhances comfort.

Commanding attention in a corporate boardroom or in a private residence, Felix is available in a diverse range of textiles and leathers in moody neutrals, which can be contrasted with a white or black powder-coated die-cast aluminum base.
