Little Big Chair

The Little Big Chair earns its place because it solves a real spatial problem: it delivers the deep, enveloping comfort of a full lounge chair in a footprint small enough for a reading corner, a bedroom, or a spot beside a sofa. The hidden swivel is a genuine functional detail rather than a styling one — the auto-return base in particular makes the chair quietly practical in a room where it needs to face more than one direction. With an upholstery range from fabric to sheepskin, it can be specified warm and soft or crisp and structured. KANSO is an authorized NORR11 retailer, so every Little Big Chair is made to order and sourced directly from the brand with its warranty intact. For a buyer who wants one well-resolved chair to do the work of a larger one, it is among the most useful pieces in the collection.

Cold foam, plywood, and a hidden iron swivel

The Little Big Chair is fully upholstered, so most of what the eye and hand meet is the textile — but the engineering underneath is the part worth understanding. A plywood frame is shaped to hold the curved low back, padded with cold foam, a denser and more resilient foam that keeps its shape under daily use rather than softening over time. Concealed in the base is an iron swivel mechanism, offered two ways: a 180-degree base with an auto-return that brings the chair quietly back to its starting position, or a 360-degree full swivel without return. The upholstery sets the rest. Fabric options sit at the base of the range, full-grain leather and natural sheepskin at the top, with leather priced by color. As a made-to-order piece, each chair is built to the chosen base and upholstery after the order is placed.
