A bachelor’s home needs to be sleek, classic with an edge and every last detail counts. After all, the first thing his guest sees, touches and sits on is a chair and making a good first impression is key, so why not make a lasting one? It’s easy to forget that something as simple as a chair can evoke anything from a mood and a feeling to personality and style. 2016 represents a rebellion on trends in favour for mixing accents, veneers and finishes in more creative ways than ever before. Blogger’s Boyfriend is here to show you 10 chairs to add panache, fashion and straight up class featuring a matching fragrance scent to complement your pad this year.
1FOR THE BOSSY BOSS ‘HE’- The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman An indisputable classic that graces any design fanatic’s lounge room, the Eames Chair never goes astray when looking to impress. Comfort and timeless elegance, the Eames Chair was first designed in 1956 by Charles and Ray Eames for the Herman Miller furniture company. It remains to be one of the most iconic furniture designs of the 20th century. The sophisticated lounge chair and ottoman is universally renowned and while it costs a pretty penny it’s a valuable investment – cheaper dupes and second-hand chairs are not hard to find, see eBay and Vestaire Collective. Accented veneers, buttery leather and famously chic, this chair is a treat that commands luxury. This is the best way to make a statement in 2016 and for the next 50 years to come.

Matching Scent: Paco Rabanne 1 Million– just like the men who would choose these powerful and masculine chairs, One Million by Paco Rabanne is irreplaceable and unforgettable and its longevity equals to its owner’s classic interior taste.
2 FOR THE LAZY ‘HE’- Bertoia Mesh Chair A sculptured light-air chair, with its geometrically constructed and industrial design from the 1950’s by Harry Bertoia, the Bertoia is a gift from the gods for the minimal man who wants to feel like he’s floating on cloud nine on top a wired petal-shape seat. Whether it’s for his dining area, to match to virtually any type of coffee table or to leave your Givenchy handbag on, this chair slides into any setting making it the perfect buy no matter your style. Its versatile identity is Bloggers Boyfriend approved for your high-end taste. A simple but an aesthetically artistic interior model to admire! Matching Scent: Comme des Garcon by Comme des Garcon. Just like the versatility of the Bertoia Chairs, this scent is versatile, unisex, edgy and mysterious.
3 FOR THE SPACE SEEKER ‘HE’- Chambray Grey Chair Similar to the well known, Saarinen Executive armless chair features classic muted colouring combined with mid-century sophistication and Scandinavian minimalism. The fundamental feature of the chair is that it is arm-less (obviously), so there is nothing stop your “he” from waving his creative arms around. For the ‘get to the point’ and straight-forward ‘he,’ this allows for a space without clutter. Create a vision that is pleasing to the eye with a statement piece that is not too dark and not too light, but is just right with a grey chambray finish for a smooth but rugged touch. Matching Scent: Giorgio Armani Eau Pour Homme– the key to elegance and refinement with a cool and calming citrus scent that’s timeless and has been loved by many lads for many years. 
4FOR THE 1970’s MINIMALIST ‘HE’- Brno Chair Tubular (or similar) Sharp with clean lines, featuring strong steel frames for arm rests, whether you’re working on relaxing this is a must have. An impeccable fixture as a dining or study room seater, the Brno Chair Tubular was originally designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. It will undoubtedly do the trick to keep your head in the game and focused on your work, not matter how menial the task. An intriguing design that is simple, elegant and sophisticated, like it’s owner, the chair with two legs connect by meeting each other halfway on the ground and unite together to uphold balance when one sits down. Matching Scent: Obsession by Calvin Klein– Whether it’s the retro classic bottle design by Pierre Dinand or because of the warm nutty and cinnamon notes, this men’s perfume matches the tanned leather and masculine frames perfectly.
5 FOR LET’S HAVE FANCY DINNER AT HOME ‘HE’- Fan Dining Chair A modern twist on Philippe Starck’s Louis Ghost Chair, the Fan Dining Chair by Sovereign Interiors features the same clear genius of the Ghost Chair with an elegant, traditional twist. The fan design has a Victorian flair while the bright coloured seats provide an unexpected retro edge – the marriage of the two perfect for any modern dining area. Not for the faint hearted, this piece is contemporary with a nod to classic themes. What would be the perfect dining table is the question, but finding ‘the one’ will surely be a Cinderella moment. Minimal meets maximum edge, it’s sure to bring any home into 2016. Sovereign Interiors currently stock this piece and lots of other amazing furniture. Matching Scent: Nautica Voyage– normally, we would try to avoid a high budget cologne if you’re already breaking the bank on a high-end interior selection, but you really can’t say no to this light and relaxing scent. With aquatic and cooling undertones, it’ll set the right mood at the dining table before a romantic night in snuggling.
6 FOR THE LAIDBACK LEANER ‘HE’- Bentwood Office Chair: The office can be a bit of a drag but making important decisions and checking emails can be a little more fun with this handsome piece. A classic design meets traditional finishes, the walnut veneer and leather seat in a bentwood finish are what dreams are made of. The vintage feel of the chair is reminiscent of the 80s with the mixture of textures giving it a 21st-century update. Slide this into a rich wooden office or a simple study and feel the passion for ‘having the work done today’ come alive. Bentwood style chairs no longer just belong in your high school memories, with the sophisticated upholstery and finish elevating this into a modern must-have. The chair is available from Westelm. Matching Scent: Mont Blanc Legend– it practically screams ‘you can’t go wrong with me.’ A classic, conservative, masculine, classic cologne for old-fashioned ‘he.’
