De Padova Raffles: A Comfortable Seat
Raffles features soft volumes, perfectly proportioned armrests, and a cushion that embraces you without giving in too much. The walnut-stained beech front feet with swivel casters lighten the overall look and add practical convenience, making it easy to move the armchair for cleaning or reorganizing the living room.
Armchair, Ottoman, Sofa
The strength of Raffles also lies in the family it creates. The armchair works beautifully on its own next to a lamp or a low side table; with the matching ottoman, it becomes a perfect seat for reading or a more relaxed break; alongside the Raffles sofa, it completes the living area with formal continuity. If instead you prefer to pair it with another Magistretti classic, the Louisiana armchair is the most natural match.
Raffles and Society Limonta
In 2022, De Padova reinterpreted Raffles together with Society Limonta. The Dress upholstery—a high-density emery-polished double satin—brings a soft hand and a surface that evokes leather to the collection. It is a discreet textural update, entirely consistent with the character of both the armchair and the sofa.

De Padova Raffles Armchair FAQ
Comfort, upholstery, pairings, and daily use: everything you need to know before deciding.
What is the difference between goose down and memory foam?
Goose down offers a softer, more yielding seat with a freer, more welcoming feel. Memory foam provides more stable and uniform support. The mixed version—down with a polyurethane insert, falls right in the middle: more composed than pure down, yet less rigid than memory foam.
Is the upholstery cover removable?
In the fabric versions, the upholstery cover is removable, making it more practical for maintenance and cleaning. In the velvet version, the cover is fixed. If you have any doubts about choosing the material, we can help you understand which finish best suits your daily needs.
Where does it work best?
Raffles works beautifully in a living room, study, bedroom, or reading area where you need a substantial seat that is not visually heavy. Paired with the ottoman, it performs best in spaces dedicated to relaxation; on its own, it also functions exceptionally well as a side chair in a more formal living room.
