Austin chair question

[patrol]

Hi,
I have an Austin chair/ottoman and love the way it sits. I'm looking to match a new chair with a chesterfield style sofa... which H&M would be comparable to the way the Austin tilt back 2032NB sits- but with the chesterfield look? Richmond?

Generally the two styles are a bit at odds with one another. A chesterfield is all about style, and detail. An Austin is all about comfort at the expense of style. So, no chesterfield sofa is going to match the Austin for comfort, and no Austin is going to look like it belongs with a chesterfield.

If i were to use a chesterfield style sofa - depending on size - I would probably look at doing a # 1226 Reed Tufted as it picks up some of the lines of the Austin and is one of the more comfortable button-tufted.

Option 2 would be the Teton Sofa, but this is a big unit....

OK thanks! I thought it was just me in thinking that Austin chair is a little fugly. But everyone who sits in it thinks it's the best in comfort.
