About Armchairs

About Massant Armchairs — Europe & Worldwide

Massant armchairs embody Belgian atelier craftsmanship with proportions and comfort tuned for today. Drawing on Régence, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Directoire, and Empire references, each piece is carved, finished, and upholstered by hand—offering the poise of museum-grade originals with modern durability for residences, boutique hospitality, and curated corporate spaces across Europe and worldwide.

Craftsmanship & Construction

  • Frames: kiln-dried beech, oak, or walnut; mortise-and-tenon joinery; pegged and glued for long-term stability.
  • Carving: hand-executed crests, scrolls, rosettes, fluting; style-correct legs (cabriole, tapered, reeded) by period.
  • Upholstery: sprung seats and backs, hand-stitched edges; horsehair or modern performance fills; expert pattern matching.
  • Finishes: hand gesso, shellac and wax, stained or ebonized timber, painted and patinated lacquers; water- or metal-leaf highlights on request.

Sit & Feel

  • Ergonomics refined for contemporary use—balanced seat height, supportive rake, and enveloping arms.
  • Comfort choices: medium or plush seat build, feather wrap options, lumbar cushions, or tighter “salon” upholstery for a crisper line.
  • Acoustic warmth from natural materials—perfect for reading corners, salons, suites, and quiet lounges.

Customization & Project Options

  • Dimensions: width/depth tweaks, higher arms for conversation groupings, narrow-door access solutions.
  • Upholstery: COM/COL accepted; double welt, gimp, or nailhead trims; caned panels with loose cushions where desired.
  • Performance & compliance: FR foams/interliners for EU/UK/US; moisture-barrier options for hospitality; felted glides and floor-safe casters.
  • Documentation: spec sheets, finish samples, and shop drawings for approvals and tender packs.

Where They Work Best

  • Luxury residences — living rooms, libraries, dressing rooms, entrance halls, bay windows.
  • Hospitality — suites, lounges, lobbies, private dining, club rooms, heritage restorations.
  • Corporate & cultural — reception areas, executive offices, embassies, galleries and boutique retail.
