Barix Velvet Tub Chair: Rounded Shape, Solid Wood Frame, 300lb Rated, Black or Ember Orange
By Furniture1002 min read
The Barix is the small velvet tub chair in our lounge range: a rounded shape that holds you from three sides, on a solid wood frame with reinforced legs, rated to 300 pounds. It is the chair for a bedroom corner, a dressing table or a reading nook, and in ember orange it is the one that changes a room.
What it is
A modern rounded tub chair. The back curves round into the arms as one rim, upholstered in soft velvet over high-density foam that the product page describes as firm yet comfortable and resistant to sagging. The frame is solid wood with reinforced legs, and the stated load is 300 pounds, roughly 136kg.
Who it suits
Somewhere a full armchair would be too much. A bedroom, a dressing table, the corner of a small living room, a landing with a window. The tub shape is what makes it work: it supports you properly while taking up little more floor than a dining chair.
The page pitches it for extended daily use rather than occasional sitting, on the strength of the foam. If you want a reading chair in a small room, this is the size to look at.
Black or ember orange
Black velvet is the quiet, glamorous choice, and it suits a dark wall, a dressing table, or a room with brass. Ember orange is the statement: a burnt terracotta rather than a bright orange, and against wood, cream or green it is the best-looking small chair in the range.
Living with it
Vacuum the velvet with a soft brush in the direction of the pile. Blot spills. A brush lifts the pile where it has been pressed. Dust the wooden legs.

Frequently asked questions
How much weight does the Barix take?
The product page states up to 300 pounds, roughly 136kg, on a solid wood frame with reinforced legs.
Is the padding firm or soft?
The page describes high-density foam in seat and back giving firm yet comfortable support that resists sagging, and pitches it for extended daily use rather than occasional.
What is a tub chair?
A chair whose back curves round into the arms as one continuous rim, holding you from three sides. The Barix is a small rounded version, which is why it fits a bedroom corner or a dressing table.
Is velvet practical?
It is warmer to sit on than a flat weave and it hides small marks. Vacuum with a soft brush in the direction of the pile, blot spills rather than rubbing, and it keeps its sheen.
Black or ember orange?
Black is the quiet, glamorous choice that suits a dark wall or a dressing table. Ember orange is the statement, a burnt terracotta that sits well with wood, cream and green.
