Vintage Sofa Company Gotham Patchwork Armchair with Patchwork Sides

Viewed from any angle, this version of the Gotham is designed to show more of its character. Rather than balancing the mixed upholstery with quieter outer panels, it carries the patchwork through the sides as well, which gives the chair a richer and more continuous finish. That makes it feel more expressive than a standard wing armchair, but still structured enough to hold its shape in a room.

A big part of that comes from the way the patchwork is handled. The mix of checks, tweeds and textured fabrics brings colour and variation, but the diamond buttoning helps organise it visually so the chair feels composed rather than busy. On a design like this, that detail matters. It adds depth through the back and seat and gives the different fabrics more rhythm and definition.

Leather-trimmed rolled arms are what stop the look becoming too soft. They bring warmth, frame the upper shape and create a cleaner edge against the fabric panels, while the studwork reinforces the outline in a more traditional way. Turned wooden legs complete the chair with a familiar furniture finish, so the overall effect feels crafted and substantial rather than novelty-led.

Made by Vintage Sofa Company, the Gotham suits interiors that can take a more individual statement piece without losing comfort. It works especially well in living rooms, reading corners, studies and design-led spaces where a plain armchair would feel too flat, but where you still want something that functions as proper everyday seating rather than decorative display furniture.

PLEASE NOTE - Image is for illustration purposes and each chair will feature a unique patchwork pattern and mix of fabrics and colours.
