The Press Armchair and Bench by Studio Truly Truly for Design By Them
A Sculptural Seating Collection that Balances Comfort and Design
Australian design brand Design By Them launched the Press seating collection with the addition of an armchair and bench, artistically constructed in collaboration with Studio Truly Truly. In this innovative duo, Studio Truly Truly captures a blend of playfullness and architecture in its design — the soft, plump, cushions set upon an angular wooden frame create furniture that is “soft” in nature and is also “hard”, allowing the overall product to be comfortable and functional for a living room as well as an institutional space and interior placing prop.

A Dialogue Between Strength and Softness in Modern Armchairs
Studio Truly Truly has long explored the idea of sculpting upholstery with pressure. The Press Armchair continues this philosophy, where the exaggerated softness of the fabric contrasts with the rigidity of solid timber.
“In the Press pieces, we explore upholstery with the involvement of wood, creating a visual play between brutality and delicacy,” explain founders Joel and Kate Booy.
The result is a seating design that stands out as both comfortable and sculptural, perfect for a statement accent armchair in residential interiors or as armchairs for elderly who value both comfort and support.
What Makes The Press Accent Armchair Great for Living Rooms
Different from an off-the-shelf electric recliner armchair that focuses on function alone, the Press Armchair offers a combination of style and function.
- Generous seat depth means comfort can endure.
- French seams on cushions add a level of sophistication
- FSC certified solid oak frames highlight sustainable craftsmanship.
- Upholstery options in Kvadrat and Maharam fabrics allow for personalized finishes.
For homeowners searching for armchairs for living room setups, the Press collection introduces a unique blend of artistry and utility — a sculptural piece that also enhances day-to-day living.
