What? There’s something quite regal about this dark Nordic blue Hepburn armchair from John Lewis that we totally love. We’re not quite sure whether that’s from the high rolled back, the diamond back-button seaming or the chiselled legs. But we’d sure like to curl up with a good book in it. Priced at £1,400.
