XR Lips Loveseat – Red Velvet

The Lips Loveseat is a red velvet lip chair shaped like a giant pair of rouged lips. It's a bold, wide-seated statement piece for a playroom, boudoir, bedroom corner or lounge, made for people who like their décor with a wink. Unlike most of our furniture, it has no straps or hidden hardware: its job is to look striking and feel soft.

What it's like to sit in

The frame is wood, padded with foam cushions and covered in soft velvet. The lower lip forms the seat and the upper lip curves up behind as the backrest, so you sink into it rather than perch on it. At about 38 inches across and 24 inches deep, there's room for one person to curl up or two to sit close. The overall height is about 21 inches, so it sits low, more lounge chair than dining chair, which makes it comfortable for lounging, reading or a lap dance in a themed room.

Where to put a lip chair

Bright red velvet draws the eye, so give it space. It works as the focal point of a boudoir or playroom, in a bedroom corner opposite the bed, or in a basement bar or lounge. Against a dark wall it glows; against white it pops like a pop-art piece. Keep it out of direct sunlight, since strong light can fade red velvet over time.

Practical points before you buy

There are no moving parts, so nothing to adjust, fold or break. That also means it doesn't recline and has no restraint points; if you want furniture that doubles as a bondage piece, the Kinky Couch chaise is the one to look at. Measure your doorways too: at 38 inches long, the chair needs a clear path to its spot.

Caring for velvet

Vacuum it with an upholstery brush to lift dust and lint. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth, then dab with a little water and mild soap if needed; avoid rubbing, which crushes the pile. Keep lube and massage oil off the fabric, or throw a towel or blanket over the seat first.
