The 45×45 cm (18"×18") size is universally regarded by ergonomic specialists as the golden mean for accent chairs: it cushions the lumbar spine without pushing your knees awkwardly past the seat edge. Adorned with delicate Japanese woodcut waves and mountain lines, it infuses an air of calm reflection into private book corners.
