Italian armchairs: create your dreamy reading corner

There's a place in the house able to recreate a dream-like environment: I'm talking about the reading corner. Intimate, cosy, personal, ready to make us fly away from everyday life each time he need, the great thing is that this corner can be built practically everywhere in the house.

The reading corner is not just one of those elements usually sacrificed by modern tiny apartments, very widespread nowadays, or by the frenetic life we all live; the reading corner is, at the contrary, a necessary oasis that cal help us stop, relax and read a good book. Books are, let's face it, the transposition of those fairy tales that we used to read before going to sleep, metaphor of the real life or imagined dreams.

It's a space exclusively thought for everyone relaxation where music, magazines or also just rest are welcomed. It's a unique way to create a place where we can hide from all the speed that surrounds us.

But where do we place our reading corner? Obviously it's a matter of space and sizes, the important thing is to know that a corner like that is suitable in every room: bedroom, open space, sitting room, under a mezzanine bed, in the hall and, if it's big enough, also inside a bathroom maybe next to the shower with Turkish bath or to the whirlpool bath.

And which are the essential elements that can help us create a dreamy reading corner? Well, first of all: soft lighting... but not too much, because while it's true that we need a warm and calm atmosphere it's also necessary to have enough light to read! Than we need a surface, maybe a small coffee table where we can place beverages or an mp3 player and of course our books; we need a rug, possibly with warm colours to help creating welcoming feelings.

What we really need at this point is a great Italian armchair, the protagonist of this heavenly corner, I suggest you to match it if you can with a footrest or to think about it very carefully because it really has to satisfy your comfort and needs: tilted or straight, soft or rigid, rocking or fixed. The choice is very subjective, as well as the style.

Choose it with leather cover, if you prefer something a little bit more classic, or with fashion colours and design, if you are more into modern furniture pieces or again why not mixing wood and fabrics for a more ethnic flavour? The important thing is that no matter what material and style you choose, your reading corner will always be a place of extreme pleasure and rest.

Ego armchair in wood and leather or fabric, with optional ottoman, can help you recreate a vaguely exotic atmosphere, perfect for a place dedicated to your relaxation.

With the famous Eames armchair with leather cover is possible to furnish a perfect corner with a classic style and an eye to the past.

With Uno armchair in methacrylate and eco-leather what you can obtain is a strong contemporary reading corner, almost futuristic but at the same time cosy. Uno armchair will be able to give several positive and ethereal sensations.

Lastly, I'd like to show you the amazing Dragonfly armchair with leather or fabric cover; what's great about this armchair is the possibility to transform it into a chaise longue with just a single movement. Think about the convenience of having two different pieces in a single product that, moreover, helps you create a modern but elegant corner matching every need.
