Jane Austen Sat Where? We've Paired 6 Great Chairs with Famous Authors and Books

In celebration of National Literacy Month, Star Furniture has come up with a list that merges comfort and imagination. Imagine Jane Austen settling into a seat inspired by the essence of her era or a chair that embodies the spirit of star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet.
Check out this curated collection that pairs beloved authors and their masterpieces with chairs that turn the act of reading into a true armchair adventure.
A Tale of Two-Arm Chairs
Imagine getting lost in Dickens' Tale of Two Cities – an epic novel of revolution and sacrifice - while sinking into the luxurious embrace of the Brenton Accent Chair. Deep tufting, a scroll-shaped back, and turned legs make this chair a masterpiece from every angle. The cornflower velvet upholstery adds a touch of opulence that would make even Mr. Dickens proud.
The Pride & Prejudice Chair
Ah, Jane Austen's world of love, wit, and societal norms. Immerse yourself in any of Austen's beloved novels from the comfort of Star Furniture's Arden Wing Chair. This wing chair exudes classic elegance, featuring distinguished turned legs. Its timeless shape and striped pattern lend a contemporary edge to the Arden chair.
This chair is as enduring as the love stories Austen penned. And if you're feeling more on the feminine side, the Trudy Wing Chair, with its vibrant blue floral print, is a charming option, blending traditional design with delicate flair.
Madame Bovary's Chair
Madame Bovary, the heroine of Flaubert's French masterpiece, longed for a life of luxury. For her fans and readers, Star Furniture is happy to recommend the Adair Accent Chair.
By design, Adair is a French Bergere – a classic chair style with a sophisticated exposed-wood frame. Madame Bovary struggled to reconcile dreams and reality. Adair is both luxurious and made to last. We think the author and his creation would approve.
Phoebe's Chair
The Phoebe Swivel Chair captures youth, modernity, and fun. With a stunning leather finish, open sides, swivels, and nickel nailhead detailing, this chair is a mid-century modern inspired masterpiece, much like J.D. Salinger’s novel of the same period.
Romeo & Juliet Loveseat
Imagine if Romeo and Juliet had the chance to snuggle up in the Calista II Chaise. The star-crossed lovers might have been able to work things out with their families. This chaise lounge is a testament to comfort and togetherness, the perfect touch for your family room. Plush and enveloping, Star Furniture designers say it's the ultimate "happily ever after chair."
Agatha's Chair
Just like Agatha Christie's intricate tales, the Noah Swivel Chair is designed for those who relish plot twists, surprise endings, and the thrill of solving puzzles. Imagine yourself perched on this swivel chair, ready to zig and zag through the pages of suspenseful stories, much like a detective unraveling the truth in the early 20th century.
Upholstered in a faux Sheepskin fabric in a natural tone, the Noah Swivel Chair exudes an air of sophistication that would complement any room. Whether it's Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot, this chair adds an extra layer of intrigue to your reading haven.
