Description
A low seat profile and curved armrests make the Taru a lounging chair rather than an upright one. Grey velvet covers high-density foam on a plywood frame with solid rubber wood legs. It measures 65 cm wide, 77 cm deep and 76 cm high and weighs 9.5 kg — narrow along the wall, unusually deep into the room.
Narrow on the wall, deep into the room
65 × 77 × 76 cm (W × D × H)
Depth is the number that catches people out here. At 77 cm the grey Taru reaches further into the room than it does along the wall, where it takes only 65 cm. That combination suits a narrow wall with open floor in front of it and works badly in a walkway. Height is 76 cm, so it sits low against the wall behind.
A low seat and armrests shaped to match
Sitting low is the point of the Taru — you drop into it and lean back rather than perching upright, which is why 77 cm of depth exists. The curved armrests follow that posture instead of sitting square to it. High-density foam over a plywood frame provides the support, and the solid rubber wood legs are fixed, with no rocking and no swivel.
Grey velvet on a plywood frame
Velvet fabric in grey over high-density foam, on a plywood frame with solid rubber wood legs. Velvet pile shades in the direction it is brushed, so the same grey reads lighter from one side of a room than the other. Vacuum with a soft head and brush the pile one way afterwards to even the tone.

A reading corner for leaning back
A reading corner built for leaning back suits the grey velvet Taru: the low seat and 77 cm depth let you settle rather than sit upright, and 65 cm of width fits a narrow wall in a main bedroom. Depth is the trade-off — 77 cm projects well into the room, so it needs open floor in front of it.
How deep is the grey velvet Taru armchair at 77 cm?
Seventy-seven centimetres from front edge to back is deep for a chair only 65 cm wide, and that ratio is deliberate — the Taru is meant to be leaned into rather than sat on upright. Practically it means measuring the floor, not the wall. Add clearance in front so the route past the chair stays usable.
What does the low seat profile mean on the grey velvet Taru armchair?
A low seat sets you further back and lower down than a dining-height chair, so your weight goes into the backrest rather than your feet. That suits evenings and reading, and makes standing up a slightly bigger movement. The curved armrests are shaped for the same reclined position.
How does grey velvet shade on the Taru armchair?
Velvet pile lies in one direction, so grey looks lighter from one side of a room and deeper from the other, and it shades wherever someone has sat. Brushing the pile one way after vacuuming resets the tone. Judge the colour in the room's own light rather than from a single photograph.
Will the 65 cm wide grey velvet Taru armchair fit a main bedroom wall?
Sixty-five centimetres of wall is all the grey Taru needs, so it suits a main bedroom where the wall space is limited but the floor is open. The 77 cm depth is the part that has to be planned for, because it is depth rather than width that narrows a route past the bed.
What frame is under the grey velvet Taru armchair's high-density foam?
A plywood frame, with solid rubber wood used for the legs and high-density foam for the cushioning. Those four materials are what is listed for this chair. Plywood gives the body rigidity across the 77 cm depth, which matters more on a deep frame than a shallow one.
How flat is the 11.5 kg carton for the grey velvet Taru armchair?
Thirty centimetres deep, in a carton measuring 68 × 30 × 59 cm at 11.5 kg holding one armchair. That flatness is the practical advantage: it turns a tight stair or a narrow hallway from a problem into a non-event. Assembly is required once it is inside.
